Pilgrim's Prayer - Lord, I am Your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which You prepared in advance for me to do. I believe that this pilgrimage is one of those good works. Thank you for preparing this path for me. As I walk it, I pray that I would fulfill the purpose You have for me in it. May it be a journey that shapes me, molds me, and equips me for the works You have for me when I return. I am Your clay; make me into a vessel that brings You honor. Amen.
