Dear God,

A human pathway is sometimes long and pitted with uncertainty.  A divine pathway is always shorter, in Kairos time.

I've been down both roads.  Stubbornly following my own will, I know the ups and downs, the twists and turns of my own path.  How often have I wound up on a dead-end street or worse yet, a road that ends in a scary place?  How many times have I lost my way spending lots of time and energy going in circles?  In the long run my own direction takes more time, is more frustrating and sometimes more frightening, and a waste of time.  Yet, sadly I have chosen this path.

In recent years I have trusted more in your leading.  I have listened and followed.  Although I may feel tempted to take a short trek in another direction, more often than not I have resisted the temptation knowing every time I follow you, I get where I need to be...on time.

Speak your will,
Almighty God;
tell me
your desire
for my life.
Teach me
to follow
every time
trusting you
to show me
the way.
I praise you,
O Lord.

Love, Andrea
