I think that I have posted the prayer below before...it's one of my favorites. But it seems pretty fitting for me right now, so I figured that I'd share it again in case it's applicable to your life as well. Happy Thursday!

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.

ahhh, my favorite prayer! It was basically my college mantra!
Perfection!
Sometimes in life when I feel like this, and I don't quite understand why things happen, I always try to remember that there is a plan, and it's perfect. So hard to remember, but such a great thing to know and have faith in.
I love this prayer thanks for sharing!
Just what I needed to hear today! You always know just what to say/blog.
