GUIDANCE Morning Worship

2. Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you

3. Receive Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him, and he will help you;
he will make your righteousness shine
like the noonday sun.
Psalm 37: 5-6

4. Guidance and Resolutions
Engage
Guidance and Resolutions
Play a guiding game—blindfold one and navigate them across the room
What resolutions have you made and what or who has guided you to make them?
Think about where you want to be in a year’s time…
What do you need to do or give up to get there?
Make a new year’s resolution about your learning and write it down
Think about pitfalls—what will be tempting to you / will stop you reaching your goal?
Write yourself a letter—address it to yourself and give it to your Tutor
Tutors will give out the letters in a few weeks time when resolutions are forgotten or slipping so that you can remind yourself and guide yourself to keep to your resolution
Map of the past the present and the future
Draw a path of your life
Show the significant events
Draw paths which show the good choices and the less helpful choices you have made
Reflect what you have learnt from your journey and your life choices…
Draw the future paths you would like to take
Create an image of who you want to be in a week, a month, a year, ten years, twenty years etc.
What paths will you need to take to get yourself to those goals?
Write guidance and resolution prayers

5. Respond Amen God who guides us with light,
Lead us always to be positive
as we ‘entrust the past to your mercy,
the present to your love,
and the future to your providence’.
Amen
Adapted from St Augustine

6. Go
May the grace of Christ our Saviour
be with us all
Amen
