Lord, steady my feet, when this chaotic and crazy world tries to rock and shake my faith.
When materialism beckons with coy hands, and wrestles to 'class me", up and against my sisters and brothers; steady my will.
When lust sashays within, and works to distract me from true love and caring; from relationships that are built on your way; steady my heart.
When fear tugs at my knees, and strives to wrench from me all hope and trust which I place in you, O Lord; steady my faith.
Show me your goodness, O God, and steady my spirit in you, always. Keep my feet planted, I pray, firmly upon the steady foundation of your truth.
Amen.
