Lead Me Lord
I’ve known what it’s like to be away from You, and it’s a lonely, painful existence. I don’t ever want to be in the dark again. Please don’t allow me to go back to that place. A place where all I can feel is longing and emptiness… where I face the world, always with a heavy heart. I can’t stand it.
I’ve felt what it’s like to be in Your presence. And it’s contentment and happiness beyond compare. I want to be inside Your light, all the time. When I’m there, even though I can feel all my problems, I become wrapped in hope and comfort. Even though I feel the pain, I can understand the necessity of it all. With you, I know that everything has a purpose, and that I have the strength to overcome anything. I want to be in Your presence, because with You, I feel safe and loved no matter what.
I need You. You’ve taken me out of the dark before, please don’t allow me to come back. I can’t do this on my own. Take my hand, and lead me, Lord. You know what’s best for me, and I trust You. Please, lead me to the right path. When I stray, gently lead me back to Your side because life away from You is unbearable. I owe everything to You. I owe my life, my soul, my everything… to You. I am NOTHING without YOU. You have ALL of me. I offer myself to You. And I will follow you wherever you will lead me. Thank you so much, Jesus.

He welcomes you always back with open arms. You have a great and beautiful love for your Savior.
From His side their is no greater love than hat He has for His children.............including you............
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
