Lord,
Today I feel like I’m standing still in the middle of a world sprinting in every direction. The noise, the expectations, the pull of my own thoughts—it’s exhausting. But You whispered something to my heart today. Something that anchored me:
“This journey of life was never meant to be traveled alone.”
You didn’t just save me to send me off. You saved me to walk with me.
Sometimes I forget that, Jesus. I know it in my head, but I don’t always live like I know it in my heart. Life gets loud, people get messy, and the days run together like spilled paint. But Your Word reminds me:
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” – Psalm 37:23
You delight in my way. You don’t just tolerate my existence or sigh every time I mess up. You actually delight in walking beside me. That floors me.
Why do I so easily forget that You’re right here?
I was reading this morning in Isaiah, and this verse stood out like a flare:
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.” – Isaiah 43:2
You never promised I’d avoid the waters—you just promised I wouldn’t drown. And honestly, lately, it’s felt like I’ve been wading through an ocean of unknowns. But You’re still here, walking beside me, even when I can’t see through the waves.
Jesus, the more I walk with You, the more I realize how much I need to walk in awe of You. Not just in obedience. Not just in routine. But in absolute reverence. The kind of reverence that makes me put my phone down, step away from distractions, and just be with You.
I know the world doesn’t celebrate walking slowly, intentionally, or sacredly. But I do. Or at least I want to.
This walk with You—it’s not always easy. You confront me. You lovingly correct me. You expose the parts of my heart I want to hide. But You do it with such gentleness, like a surgeon with healing hands.
You never humiliate me. You heal me.
And I’m starting to see how walking with You is the only path that actually changes me. Not religion. Not rules. Not even good works. Just You. Just Jesus.
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8
I’m learning that “walking humbly” doesn’t mean shrinking back. It means staying close to You, knowing full well You’re the one holding my hand.
Jesus, can I be honest?
Sometimes I still want control. I still want to call the shots, make the decisions, and map out my future like I’m the creator of time itself. But I’m not. You are. And You’ve never once led me wrong.
It’s hard to surrender. It’s hard to let go. But I’m slowly realizing that walking with You means letting You lead—even when it doesn’t make sense.
You taught me this during my last job when everything crumbled. I was sure that position was my “calling.” But now, looking back, I see it was just a classroom. You were teaching me how to trust You when my identity isn’t propped up by titles.
Thank You for stripping that from me.
Yeah, I said it. I’m thankful for the stripping. Because it forced me to walk more closely with You.
This journey with You is less about where I go and more about who I become. And every step with You is shaping my character—refining me, stretching me, and anchoring me in something real.
So today, I’m asking You for more.
Not more stuff. Not more followers. Not more clarity.
But more of You.
Give me a deeper hunger for Your Word. Let it be the first place I run, not the last.
Give me a holy craving for Your presence—stronger than my desire for approval, comfort, or success.
And give me the boldness to confront the lies in myself and in others. Not to be self-righteous, but to be righteous. There’s a difference.
People need truth, Jesus. Real truth. Not watered-down, “cute” Christianity that doesn’t offend anyone. You didn’t die a brutal death just to make us comfortable.
You died to make us new.
So if I’m really walking with You, my life better start reflecting that.
God, help me not to just talk about You, but to actually walk with You.
Help me be the kind of woman who prays more than she posts.
The kind of woman who forgives quickly and loves fiercely.
The kind of woman who isn’t afraid to confront sin—in love—and call people into truth, not out of shame, but out of deep compassion.
And if anyone reading this (even if it’s just me re-reading it later) doesn’t know You yet, then let me just say this:
You can start walking with Jesus today.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t need to clean yourself up first. You don’t need to have some spiritual resume or emotional perfection.
Just pray. Be real. Be honest. Jesus is listening.
Here’s the prayer that changed everything for me:
“Jesus, I believe You are who You say You are. I believe You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins and rose again. I surrender my life to You. I don’t want to walk alone anymore. I give You my past, my present, and my future. Come into my life and lead me every step of the way. Amen.”
That’s it. That’s the first step. And once you take it, He will walk with you.
He won’t promise the path will always be easy, but He will promise that you’ll never walk it alone.
So here I am, Jesus. Again. Choosing to walk with You—step by step, even when I can’t see the full path.
Thank You for never leaving my side. Thank You for being patient when I wander, and strong when I’m weak.
And thank You for growing me. Even when it hurts.
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” – James 4:8
Today, I draw near.
Today, I walk with You.
Today, I choose the narrow road—because You’re on it.
And I’ll keep walking with You until I finally see You face to face.
