Heavenly Father, as I consider the wonderful way You took the shattered lives of Naomi and Ruth, who were left widowed and alone in a pagan land, and You turned everything around for good, I am amazed and humbled at Your kindness and grace, Your power and sovereign authority. I pray that I will not stray from the path of peace, not rely on my own abilities, but trust You in all things. Help me to live my life in active dependence on You alone. Use my life I pray, to forward Your plans and purposes in whatever way You choose, and may I live each day to Your honour. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
