Dear Lord,

As I look toward the future 
Bright hope conducts this prayer, 
For I know the plans You have for me 
Were wrought with divine care.

Holy Spirit, lead me. 
Let me run at Your command, 
Yet be still and know that You are God 
When trouble is close at hand.

Your Word will be a lamp for me, 
A guide to light my way, 
A solid place to set my feet, 
A compass when I stray.

May I live my life to praise You, 
Not for fortune, nor for fame, 
May everything I say and do 
Bring glory to Your name.

May my eyes stay fixed upon You 
As I seek the way that's pure, 
Tasting Your love and goodness 
Sleeping and rising secure.

Planted by Your living streams 
I'll delight in all Your ways, 
Hidden by Your sheltering wings 
With new mercies for each day.

Even in a dangerous land 
When storms threaten to destroy, 
At the cross I'll stand upon the Rock 
My Strength, my Hope, my Joy.

Dear Lord, show me Your favor, 
At all times keep me blessed, 
May Your face ever shine upon me, 
With peace and perfect rest.

Amen.

~Mary Fairchild~
