"He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake."
Psalms 23:3
As a homeschool mom, this simple prayer carries SO much promise and hope. In this enormous task of training, raising, educating, guiding my children, it's beautiful to remember that it is God that restores me. It is God that refreshes me when I feel dry, and in those times when my faith becomes smaller than the mountains that are in front of me. He RESTORES me.
And if that's not enough, the next biggest question, obstacle, and cry of my heart is, "God, am I following YOUR will, am I on your path?" BUT His answer is right here. He guides me on the paths of righteousness for His namesake. It's He that is guiding me. He is my shepherd, and we know His voice. He will not lead us astray.
Lord God,
Thank you for your beautiful, life giving Word. Thank you that it is for your glory that you guide us. Thank you for knowing what we need and when we need it. Thank you for your presence in our lives and this promise that you will not lead us astray! Thank you for your love, and your Spirit, and your Son. Thank you that you are merciful to not give us what we deserve, but you lavish your love on us instead. You have clothed us with righteousness, and we humbly bow before you in awe of that great and priceless gift.
In Jesus' Holy Name we pray.
