Keep walking

Lately, I’ve had some decisions to make.  

When I come to a fork in the road, and I don’t know what to do,

 I ask for guidance, and sometimes it seems like none is forthcoming, 

so I make a choice.   

 I choose what seems best, and go with it.   

I’ve a firm belief that if I’m trying to do what’s right in every other way, 

God will redirect me,

 if I take a wrong turn.

 Putting my trust in Him- that He’ll direct me aright, 

and putting trust in myself- that I have the sense and goodness to make wise choices, 

keeps me from being stuck, or paralyzed with the fear of making a mistake.   

When so much rides on a decision,

 and we can’t see the end, or even what’s around the bend,

 it’s easy to feel afraid or worried.  

I just tell myself “keep walking.”  

When the way ahead is dark and uncertain, it takes courage to keep going, 

but I trust that my life is in His hands, 

and that He will support me in every trouble and trial, 

all along the way.  

So I just keep walking.

“Walk to the edge of the light, and perhaps a few steps into the darkness, and you will find that the light will appear and move ahead of you”
