LORD Jesus, Sometimes I feel weary and confused. Not doubting. Not abandoning. Just... tired. And unclear about what's next.
It is in those times I need to choose to look away from those feelings and turn wholeheartedly toward You. Not partially. Not reluctantly. Wholeheartedly. Like a man turning his face into the wind because he knows the wind is taking him Home.
I want to be a man of prayer every day. Not a man of performance. Not a man of appearance. A man of prayer. Where I pour out my heart freely to You—the weariness, the confusion, the questions I can't answer—and then rest in the Presence of the One who knows ma and my way perfectly.
All the way from here to heaven.
Turn my eyes toward You all day today and every day until You call me Home.
Not my eyes on the news. Not my eyes on the aches. Not my eyes on the mess we've made of things. My eyes on You.
This I pray in the strong and matchless name of Jesus, Amen.

I'm not asking God to show me the whole map. I'm asking My LORD to be my guide. I don't need the itinerary. I just need the Companion.
