Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Envision taking a long new and unfamiliar trail walk with a map in hand. The idea of course is stay on the trail and follow the directions to the final destination. Similarly, because of our faith in Christ, we “walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). The challenge is to resist our old life of the flesh. Every day, He has a path for us to follow in which His word is our guide and His Spirit is our help. He promises to be with us every twist and turn.

But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall, I will rise; though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me. Micah 7: 7-8
Dear Lord,
Help us learn how to watch and wait expectantly for you. You are the light in any darkness! Give us a hopeful patience in times of trial, trusting that you will lift us up in due time. Be victorious over our enemy for your name's sake. Raise us up in your strength and justice. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
