A prayer

Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.

Lord, I am starting something new and I feel both excited and unsure of myself. Go ahead of me the way you went ahead of those who stepped out before they could see the whole road. Give me courage for the first step and endurance for the ones after it.

If this isn’t the right path, redirect me clearly, and if it is, help me not to shrink back out of fear. I commit this new beginning to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
