Dear 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 this: I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
I hope I have that desire in everything I do.
I hope I never persist in 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 at the time.
Therefore I will trust you always for though
I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death -
I will not be afraid, because I know you will never leave me to face my troubles all alone.
