My Lord 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 I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you
does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do 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.
Therefore will I trust you always though
I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Wow. This Prayer just made me realize how much this describes my feelings. I didn’t always follow my faith. I was living a life that was rat race. Then something happened to me. I’m not going to reveal it but it caused me to realize how foolish I had been. This prayer describes how I feel now. I’m back. But is it enough? I strive to make it happen. I will never go back to what I was.
