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 need your mercy and your saving love. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and ask you to be my Lord and my Savior. Lead me step by step in your way, and make my life yours. Amen.

Receive the Lord Who Leads

Lord, revive your Church to follow you faithfully step by step, not skipping the places you lead. Make us attentive to your order, humble in small obediences, and steady until the end. Teach us to care about the details you care about and to finish well for your glory, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your People Faithful in Every Step

Pray by naming one area where you feel ahead of yourself or behind. Ask God for the next faithful step, the patience to wait for his timing, and the grace not to rush past what he is showing you.

Ask for the Next Step

Bring before God your tendency to skip ordinary obedience, your desire to be dependable in small things, and your willingness to keep following when the path feels repetitive.

Growing in Steady Obedience

Thank God that he is not careless with your life, that he can guide the sequence of your days, and that no step of obedience is wasted.

Thank God for His Careful Order

Pray for endurance to keep going when the journey feels long, for focus on the next step, and for grace to arrive where God leads without dropping out early.

Finish the Sequence Well
