I Want to Hold Your Hand

Today’s scripture: John 14:6 (NRSV) (The Message) (KJV) What might God be saying to me?

My thoughts (Charlotte Egler):

Lord, I want to hold Your hand like a toddler holding on to the loving parent’s hand. I want to trust You are here with me every step of my journey. As I breathe, I inhale your love and light and let go of all the toxic junk (cancer and its treatments, fear, anger, resentment, and frustration). Help me to trust You. You are the way. When I start to worry about my path, I need to remember that staying close to You is staying on course. I know You will guide me on today’s journey.

Prayer for the day: Help me to enjoy basking in Your presence and holding Your hand. I must let You lead me.
