Dear God, my Friend,
my heart sometimes
wants to pull back
from the call to enter
that vast unknown.
But only there
will I come to find,
as you summon me to,
who I really am.
Therefore, this day,
grant me courage
to walk the path
laid out before me.
May I trust, not that
the way will be clear,
but, give me true faith
to befriend the dark.
And may I always recall,
each step along the way,
that all will be well,
for You are always with me.
In the certainty of the Psalmist,
and with true Love for You,
I say, with a glad heart,
"I will not fear, for You are with me."
