2 Kings 19:9-11, 14-21, 31-35, 36  <*(((>< + ><)))*>  Matthew 7:6, 12-14

Lead me Lord Jesus
to your "narrow gate
and constricted road that
leads to life" (Matthew 7:14)
by teaching me to be
more trusting,
obedient to your will by
let me go
of my many concerns
and worries,
of my fears and
reluctance.

Like Hezekiah
the King of Judah,
let me be led by you,
O God most powerful
who loves me so much;
let me value most this
relationship with you, 
Lord that I may never turn
to anybody else
except you.
Amen.
