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 that 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
