4. Hymn, Pilot Me:

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me over lifes tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before
me roll, hiding rock and treachrous shoal; Chart and compass come from
TheeJesus, Saviour, pilot me.

As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous
waves obey Thy will when Thou sayst to them, Be still. Wondrous Sovreign
of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
When at last I near the shore, and the fearful breakers roar Twixt me and the
peaceful rest then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me,
Fear not I will pilot thee.
5. How will the Lord lead and guide you?

There a hundred ways that God will shape you, guide you,
correct you, comfort you. As you grow, you will notice Gods
work in and through virtually every part of your life.

There are three things that you must never give up on if you
wish to live with Jesus as your guide:

a. The Word read and reflect on the Bible, Gods Word
to us. Allow it to shape you. Memorize it. Apply it
diligently to your life. Ask for help with this.

b. The Sacramentstake every opportunity to
experience God through the Lords Supper. God
promises us to meet us in the Lords Supper and that
he will give us grace for the journey through it.

c. PrayerPrayer is talking to God, spending time in
Gods presence. Enjoy His company.

Remember: the God who has called you will be faithful to guide
you.
