May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. … Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. … A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?

Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. … Direct my footsteps according to your word. … Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. … Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. … Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again. … Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path… Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you.
