Lord Jesus, we kneel at Your feet before we dare raise a leg and step into the unknown.

Prepare us, oh Lord, for whatever lies before us:
Protect our heels,
Provide sufficient cover for our vulnerable heads.
Ready us for whatever lies ahead.

Nurture our minds to the joys we are about to receive.
Strengthen our hearts to the pain that may also come our way.

Protect the hands that provide:
Balm for the writer;
Gloves for the hands that fight.

Inspiration to the worker;
Strength to those who right now feel a bit weaker.
