Let me lead others where You lead, Lord

This morning, for my quiet time with God, I read Joshua 1-3. There, God calls Joshua to lead the people in the way God leads him. It incited me to this prayer:

God, help me to always lead those you've called me to lead where You direct. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

As a called servant-leader in Christ's Church, called to the ministry of Word and Sacrament, this is my highest aspiration and most frequent prayer.
