Framing the Path7 Faith Practices

“Thank you God for being with me on my journey by__________.”

All Join together:Lord God, you have called your servants to

ventures of which we cannot see the endings, by paths untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (LBW, Evening Prayer)
