God
Guide Me Today
All
I need do is to silently pray – “God, help me and guide me and go with me
today.”
Because
the Lord is righteous and good, he teaches sinners the path they should follow.
He leads the humble in the right way and teaches them his will.
(Psalm 16: 9 – 10)
Today
keep God as your constant companion.
(Helen
Steiner Rice)
