Here’s a prayer from my book Poems to Help You Pray, also frequently sung as a hymn, which asks God for guidance in our journey of faith. Use it to seek God’s blessing on your own journey, that you may continue to grow in faith and understanding.
Lord, you call me to a journey,
to a never-ending quest,
always seeking new horizons,
always striving for the best.
Young or old, it makes no difference,
still the journey’s just begun,
keep me looking in the distance,
for my race is not yet run.
Let my search for truth continue,
may its flame for ever burn –
what I know is only partial,
show me all I need to learn.
Help me hear your voice of challenge,
by your word let me be fed.
Lead, and should I start to wander
help me walk your way instead.
Teach me faith must keep evolving
if it is to stay alive –
though I have a destination
I must travel to arrive.
Lord, you call me to a journey,
always holding one step more.
Help me, then, to keep believing
that you hold the best in store.
