Get up promptly, care for those entrusted to you, and move where God leads

Wait until the path feels safer before acting

Make plans in your head, but keep postponing the step

Go only part of the way, then stop once the first move is made

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and gone my own way. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord. Please take my life, lead my steps, and bring me into the good path you have for me. Amen.

Come and Lead My Steps

Lord, wake your Church to quick obedience. Where we have delayed, make us willing; where we have hesitated, make us ready; where we have ignored your leading, make us responsive again. Teach us to rise, to carry what you have entrusted to us, and to move when you send us. Revive us to follow you with steady hearts, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your People to Obedience

Name one place where you feel stalled. Ask God for the courage to get up, take the responsibilities he has given you, and move where he leads. Then ask him to make the next step clear and simple.

Pray for the Next Step

Thank God for the grace that helps you rise when he calls, for the people he entrusts to your care, and for the mercy of having a clear next step instead of wandering aimlessly.

Gratitude for Steady Direction

Father, watch over the people and responsibilities you have placed in my care. Protect my family in seasons of change, keep us safe in our going and coming, and give me a faithful heart to do what is needed. Lead us in your peace, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Guard Those I Carry

Pray for: children and parents in seasons of transition; believers who need courage to move forward; households waiting for clear direction; and grace to obey God without delay.
