Direction…
I am the son of a noble truck-driver. I have a built in map inside of my head that leads me the right way all of the time. I can recall on one hand the number of times I’ve been truly lost while driving… even when I’ve no idea where I am. I can almost always figure out a way (even if it’s not the best way) to get where I am going and always know how to get back to where I left from. It’s just the way I am.
But now I am lost. I mean… I know where I want to go and I know where I’m coming from, but I have no idea how to get to either. Every path that I contemplate taking leads back to being lost. I can’t seem to find the road that will lead me to where I know I am supposed to be. Everything is marked as “road closed” or “dead end” and I don’t know how much more fuel I have until I hit empty. I hate being without the right directions…
God, help me to trust in you. Help me to follow you along the right path for my life as you reveal it to me. I know that you are the map-maker of the universe and that you know every curve and turn of my journey… help me to do what I know you’ve called me to do. God, I take joy in the fact that even though I feel lost, you’ve reached out and found me. I pray that you would ease the unsure pounding of my heart until it is in harmony with you. Humble me Lord, but support me in my humility. Amen.
