I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end.<BR/>Nor do I really know myself,<BR/>and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean<BR/>that I am actually doing so.<BR/>But I believe that my desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything<BR/>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 will I trust you always<BR/>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<BR/>to face my perils alone.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126138786603768158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123027.post-65182143336500014942008-01-10T16:41:00.000-05:002008-01-10T16:41:00.000-05:00your prayer comes from the heart.your post reminde...your prayer comes from the heart.<BR/>your post reminded me of one my favorite Mary Oliver poems.<BR/><BR/>"Praying"<BR/>It doesn't have to be<BR/>the blue iris, it could be<BR/>weeds in a vacant lot, or a few<BR/>small stones; just<BR/>pat attention, then patch<BR/><BR/>a few words together and don't try<BR/>to make them elaborate, this isn't<BR/>a contest but the doorway<BR/><BR/>into thanks, and a silence in which<BR/>another voice may speakbellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165771647378109845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123027.post-30371374386808586082008-01-10T11:52:00.000-05:002008-01-10T11:52:00.000-05:00I love your posts.
