Dear God

Dear God

I have no idea where I am going

I do not see the road ahead of me

I cannot know for certain where it will end

Nor do I really know myself...

and the fact that I am following your will

does not mean that I am actually doing so

But I believe this:

I believe that the desire to please you

does in fact please you.

I hope that I have that desire

in everything I do.

I hope I never persist in

anything apart from that desire

And I know that if I do this you

will lead me by the right road,

Though I may know nothing about it at the time.
Therefore I will trust you always,

for though I may be lost

and in the shadow of death

I will not be afraid,

because I know that you will never

leave me to face my troubles all alone.

Amen
