They all turn to their own way.
(Isaiah 56:11; NIV).
Lord,
1. Rather than conceiving
My own approach to life,
I’ll seek your better way:
The way of truth.
2. Rather than devising
My own approach to strife,
I’ll trust your perfect way:
The way of peace.
3. Rather than creating
My own approach to hate,
I’ll walk your narrow way:
The way of love.
4. And rather than inventing
My own approach to faith,
I’ll choose your holy way,
My great High Priest.

Choose today whom you will serve.
(Joshua 24:15; NLT).
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
(John 14:6; NLT).

Ruth, this is prayer begs for deeper personal reflection and moment of confession for any conceiving, devising, and inventing. As soon as I saw the picture you selected, I though of Jeremiah 6:16 “This is what the Lord says: Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.”
Dear Beth, thank you so much for your message. I’m delighted that this prayer has given you pause for reflection. The quote you mentioned is one of my favourites! My prayers for you continue. May God bless you today XXXXXX
