Keep moving behind the one leading you, even when the place changes

Pause until following feels more convenient and familiar

Let the crowd decide the direction instead of the one you are following

Turn back whenever the road leaves your comfort zone

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and followed my own way. I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord. Lead me away from the old life and make me yours. Amen.

Follow Jesus Into New Life

Lord, renew your Church so we do not linger in comfort when you move. Wake us up to follow Christ together, with humble hearts, steady feet, and willing joy. Draw us out of spiritual laziness and into obedient movement behind you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church a Following People

Pray by naming one familiar place, habit, or plan you sense Jesus may be asking you to leave behind, then ask for one clear next step and the courage to take it.

Help Me Keep Following

Thank God for leading people who do not yet have the whole road mapped out; thank him for a Savior worth following, for a crowd of fellow travelers, and for the grace that keeps us moving.

Grateful for the One We Follow

Pray for people who are moving through change: that they would not feel abandoned, that they would stay close to Jesus, and that they would find faithful companions on the road.

For Those Leaving a Familiar Place

Father, when you lead me beyond what is comfortable, keep my eyes on you. Give me the courage to keep following, the patience to walk with others, and the grace to move when you say move, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Keep My Steps Near You
