Dear God

[Hope]

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 think 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 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 seem to be lost and in the shadow of death -
I will not be afraid, because
I know you will never leave me to face my troubles all alone.

Wonderful

A lamp under my feet is not a beacon into the future.
If I knew how hard some things would be before they get here, maybe I would look for another way to do things?
When I trust God and walk in the light he places before me, no matter what comes my way, I know he is guiding and will always be with me.

That's one of my very favorite prayers, Cheryl. It acknowledges that I don't know much, but (thankfully) god does. Thanks for the reminder. I sure needed that today.
