Super early reading before driving my teen to school. This verse stood out: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."Psalm 119:105

I needed to hear this today. Psalm 25:4–9 shows David wasn’t asking for shortcuts, but for God to teach him His ways instead of his own. That’s where I’m at too. I don’t need easy, I always need His guidance.
