Pilgrim's Prayer - Lord, I want this pilgrimage to be an offering of praise. Through Jesus, therefore, let me continually offer to You a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess Your name.

Let every step be a beat in a rhythm of worship, and every breath a note in a song of adoration to You, my King and my God. Amen.
