Missing ':user_id' key while trying to show user data

I've stuck with a little problem with showing user data in blog I'm writing. I have profiles_controller with the following code:

class ProfilesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @profiles = User.all
  end
  def show
    @profile = User.find(params[:user_id])
  end
end

following routes in routes.rb:

get '/profiles', to: "profiles#index", as: 'profiles'
get '/profiles/:user_id', to: "profiles#show", as: 'profile'

and following templates:

index.html.erb:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <% @profiles.each do |user| %>
      <div class="col-md-6">
        <p><%= user.first_name %> <%= user.last_name %></p>
        <%= link_to 'View Profile', profile_path %>
      </div>
    <% end %>
  </div>
</div>

show.html.erb

<div class="container">
  <p><%= @profile.first_name %> <%= @profile.last_name %></p>
  <p><%= @profile.email %></p>
  <p><%= @profile.about %></p>
</div>

I use extended devise User model with added attrs as first name, last name and 'about' section. When I try to navigate either to /profiles path, it returns me following error:

ActionController::UrlGenerationError in Profiles#index
No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"profiles"} missing required keys: [:user_id]

When I remove 

<%= link_to 'View Profile', profile_path %>

line from index.html.erb, /profiles path works, but /profile path still doesn't. What have I done wrong?

In your show action in the controller, it should be:

User.find(params[:id])

Also, the link should be:

<%= link_to 'View Profile', profile_path(user) %>
