Another Monday, Lord:
thank you for another journey,
thank you for another chance
to walk with you.

It is your journey, actually;
therefore, teach us to walk humbly
 with you by doing 
what is right and just,
what is good and holy
like what your Prophet Micah
told the people of Israel.

You have been told, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do what is right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).

Forgive us, dear Father,
after all our journey in life,
we have gone to be so proud
like the scribes and Pharisees,
demanding signs from your Son
Jesus that he is the Christ;
after all the walking in life
when you have saved us,
when you have picked us up
after so many falls,
when you have sought us to return
to the right directions when lost,
when so many times you waited
for us when we lag and left behind,
we still question your loving presence
among us,
in us.

Lead me, Lord,
to your direction
for you are
the Way
the Truth
and the Life.
Amen.
