THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. They smile because you have never failed them. When their trials and tribulations were unbearable, you have always been there to carry them through their pain when such burdens made it impossible to move forward in their life.

When their fight to not give up or to give in caused them to experience more attacks, they continued to call on your name to pull them through and to a place of peace and happiness.

Father, help all to understand that you are indeed the answer to all of their problems. Therefore, draw closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing your holy word, as they walk the straight and narrow path that leads to salvation.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Matthew 7:13–14
