Psalm 119:105 Heavenly Father: In our lives and in our service, there are so many roads that we could travel. This very day we will be faced with dozens of decisions; and whether large or small, each one will affect not only our lives but the lives of others. All around us we hear competing voices telling us what to do; and when we look ahead, the way before us is crisscrossed with paths that go off in all directions. How easily we might make the wrong decision, or be tempted along the wrong path, if we did not have Your word to guide us! Thank You for not leaving us to our own devices, but instead giving us a word that is constant and unchanging, steadfast and sure. 103 1993-01-20 Senate Journal Page 0104 Help us today, O Lord, to shun the paths of darkness, and to walk, unstumbling, in Your light. May the shining lamp of Your righteous law illuminate all that we think and say and do. In the Name of Him Who is the light of the world; Jesus Christ the Lord.
