I saw this, or was sent this. I am helped by this.
"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 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 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."

As I age, as I live more experience, as I wonder about relationships I thought I understood, and as I am pounded back to a few experiences I know were real, this prayer works for me most of the time.
How about you? Would you try living with this, and then leave a comment. Let us know whether, or how, this expresses something authentic for you (or not).
