Give us discernment to know who you have sent to teach us. Give us the patience to respond with gratitude, even when your message means we need to change course. Your ways are perfect. We trust in your word to guide us on your Ancient Path.

You make all things perfect in your time. Give us patience to wait for your message and wisdom to wait on you alone. Give us discernment to not expect others to do what only you can do for us.

Uphold us with your love as we journey together upon your Ancient Path. Keep us from harm, so we will give to others out of love and abundance. Remove us from the snares of the wicked, so we will remain watchful for your guidance.

We journey together upon your Ancient Path, in the company of friends and family. With our attention on each other, we sometimes lose sight of you and are no longer in your presence. We give thanks that we know you are in your sacred prayer space, waiting for us to return to you.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
