Path of Life

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11

Father, our Holy Creator, Your love surrounds us. We walk in the paths of righteousness, trusting You every step of the way. We believe You are leading us through this life, refining us, and transforming us day by day.

Father, make it known to our children and families, the path of life. Deliver them from sin and rebellion. Wake them, stir them, give them an urgency to walk with You in the fullness of joy that comes from Your presence.

Some are on the path of destruction, not knowing the pain it will bring to them. Some are on the path of life but have not experienced the joy of Your presence. Bring them all to Your right hand so they may know the pleasure that awaits them forevermore. Bless them and heal them. Prepare for them jobs, spouses, and friends who know the path and will walk beside them.

Bless Israel and show Your people the path of life. Give them a joy unspeakable to receive their Messiah. We pray for their peace and wisdom. Your amazing protection surrounds them even as the world hates them. Show them the pleasures of Your right hand, Jesus.

Bless our nation and make known to us the path of life. Forgive us for straying and show us the way back to You. Bless our leaders and deliver us from the enemy within.

As we sing Your praises, make us a joyful sound to Your ears.

In Christ alone
