God's people on the move

A prayer based on Joshua 1:1-18

Lord God,You are unchangeable in your nature,Faithful in all your ways,True to all your promises.We praise you, for keeping your word,for leading your people into the promised land.And we thank you for raising up Joshua,to be the next leader of your people.As you command Joshua, so you command usto be strong and courageous.So we pray that you would enable us to walk in your strength and to live out your courage.May we always have your law on our lips,May you be the one who fills our minds.From the first moment of the morningto when we turn our lights out at night,may we meditate on you and your word.May you be our abiding passion .May we know and obey your law.Forgive us for playing fast and loose with it.Forgive us for only letting you into certain parts of our livesCause us to be wholehearted in our obedience.May we follow after you, in all your ways.Lord God,In this moment we choose you.Keep our eyes fixed on you,May our hearts rest in you,May our strength come from you,May we courageously walk in your ways.And so may we see your name honoured and your kingdom grow,in our lives and in your church in Moodiesburn.In Jesus our Saviours name we pray,Amen
