Have you ever felt alone in a crowd? Walking down an unfamiliar street yet very familiar with

the fear that you feel, isolated, far from home. You feel vulnerable. You were lost yet too

afraid to ask a stranger for directions. And those you see around you, those you may seek for

counsel and guidance, they don't seem the sort to willing to help. Is it just you or are others

standing in your way blocking you from finding your way? How do you feel when you desperately

want answers but have no one around you to help? And those that are there around you seem only

bent on taking you further from the truth that you seek. While I pray this meditation from

2 John 6 will help you steer away from the counsel of the ungodly and delight in the law of the Lord

as you walk by His commandments. So to begin, whether it rests in the first or last light of your day,

allow the next 15 minutes to be a safe sanctuary to turn from the world and walk the righteous path.

A holy moment to center on the commandments of God. So for now allow your breathing to become

peaceful and your eyes to close. Just settle deeper into wherever you are. Start to center on this

holy path.

Continue on in this time by listening and joining in this responsive prayer from John chapter 14

and as I lead us, respond heavenly Father, guide me to walk according to your commandments.

And may the Lord bless the hearing and reading of his word.

The person who has Christ's commandments and keeps them is the one who really loves him.

So heavenly Father, guide me to walk according to your commandments.
