My Prayer

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I cannot see the road ahead of me.
I do not know for certain where it would end.
I do not know myself.
I want to follow Your will but I do not.
Even when I think I am following Your will, does not mean I actually am.
However I do believe that the desire to please You does actually please You,
and I hope that I will not act apart from this desire.
If I do this I hope You will lead me by the right road,
even though I do not know the end.
This I will always trust even when I am lost and in the shadow of Death.
I will not fear for You are with me and will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Amen.
