Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth….

Isaiah 42:16

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word. Knowing that I am loved and cared by you, I am comforted in my stress when my doubts and despairs seem to have no end. I thank You for the gift of this challenging life. Help me to see beyond the events that surround me and look to helping others. Help me to care for others as You have cared for me. Thank you for guiding me through the problems of each day by showing me rainbows.  Let me have the confidence that wherever life leads me, I am only following You.  Amen.
