Learning the Way Forward
My dear son,
Will you tell me tonight what kind of path you hope to follow? I want to hear your hopes and teach you a good way to live. Your questions never feel like a nuisance to your Father.
Before settling quickly on the direction you prefer, let us look together at what is true. Even a lesson you find difficult to welcome may lead toward greater honesty and kindness. Give yourself time to receive it.
There is no shame in having more to learn. I treasure your willingness to ask for direction and wait for me. Rest tonight, and seek your Father's wisdom again in the choices that lie ahead.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 25:4–5
WEB4Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths.
5Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.
A short reflection
The psalmist waits for the God of salvation and asks to be taught God's ways and truth and led in them.
