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 I will trust you always
though I may seem lost
and in the shadow of
death.
I will fear not,
for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me
to face
my perils alone.
