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 l think that l am following your will does not mean that l am actually doing so.

But l believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.

And l hope that l have that desire in all that l am doing.

I hope that l will never do anything apart from that desire.

And l know that if l do this you will lead me by the right road though l may know nothing about it.

Therefore will l trust you always though l may seem to be lost in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and will never leave me to face my perils alone.
