Pilgrim's Prayer - Lord, as I journey, create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me on this path. May this pilgrimage be a time of deep cleansing, where the dust of the road is less than the dust of sin being washed from my soul. I long to be made new, to find not just a place, but a new state of being in You. Amen.
