Learning to walk


My friend, Hugh Till, shared this lovely prayer on Sunday during his service. It really spoke to me, and I would love to share it with you too. It is called: Learning to Walk, and was written by J. Bradley Wigger.

"O God of steadfast love,
trusting you, we devote our hearts to learning,
and our lives to walking.

Teach us truth, that we may walk with courage.
Teach us mercy, that we may walk with humility.
Teach us forgiveness, that we may walk with compassion.
Teach us grace, that we may walk with strength.
Teach us wonder, that we may walk with praise.
Teach us goodness, that we may walk with those in need.

O God of steadfast love,
Learning from you, may we walk well.
Amen."
(From Together we Pray: A Prayer Book for Families (Chalice Press, 2005)

Thought: As we begin a new year, we would do well to devote our hearts to learning and our lives to walking well.
