PRAYER OF TRUST
My Lord God
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know where it will end.
Not do I really know myself.
And the fact that I think that I am
following Your Will does not mean
that I am doing so.
But I believe that the desire to
please You doe in fact please you.
And I hope have the deisre all that
I am doing.
And 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 not fear for You are ever with
me and you will never leave me to
face my troubles alone.
