Passage:
Focus: Dwell on the promise: "shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
Ask yourself: Are you waiting to understand the whole path before taking the next step? Name the one step you can already see, and ask what is actually stopping you taking it.
Jehovah God our Father, I cannot see far ahead today, and he that follows Your Son shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. Illuminate my path by Your Holy Spirit and guide my steps. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, the Light of the World. Amen.
