The Prayer... my prayer

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

I pray we’ll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

This song had been a prayer of my heart today. In all the decisions I have to make, I pray that God would lead me... to the right decisions... to the safest place!

You see, I am afraid that I would make a wrong decision and be lead astray... afraid that I would fall and be entrapped and not be able to escape... should I use my mind or my heart? I am not sure...which is the better way? could I gain control or lose it? It seemed that the heart has a mind of it's own! Able to decide which way to go, but at the same time, my mind tells me that I should be careful and think a hundred or even a thousand fold!

Oh, I pray for God's wisdom to guide me by His enduring grace... for I know that the safest place there could be is in the center of Your will. Help me, Oh Lord to know Your will... to experience Your mighty power in my life, in every area of my life... Oh that You would rend down the heavens and come down! I seek You Lord most of all. Help me, guide me and lead me... never let me go... I pray.
