The Road Ahead
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

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.
