Teach Us Your Ways, O God

Teach Us Your Ways, O God

Years ago, at a Bible study, my friend Danny Gonzales shared the following list about life. It’s stayed with me ever since:

  • The greatest joy… Giving
  • The most satisfying work… Helping Others
  • The greatest “shot in the arm”… Encouragement
  • The most destructive habit… Worry
  • The greatest problem to overcome… Fear
  • The most crippling failure disease… Excuses
  • The worst thing to be without… Hope
  • The greatest asset… Faith
  • The most beautiful attire… A Smile
  • The most powerful force… Love

Simple truths. But they’re also incredibly profound, aren’t they?

Let us pray: Almighty God, thank you for your unconditional love and amazing grace. Thank you for the ways you draw us back to yourself again and again. Today, remove from us all worry, fear, and excuses. Fill us instead with hope, with faith, and with love. Continue to lead us in your ways, O Lord. Teach us to walk your path. Amen.
