Daily Prayer for July 16th, 2020    

Good Thursday morning, God—thank you! 🙂

You are doing a new thing in me/us. Regardless of what’s happening around me, or what lies behind, let me keep my focus forward, and discern your good and perfect will. Not look back. That way leads to destruction. Holy Spirit, please help me to listen to you and obey. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
