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 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 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.
