is unfolding for me today.
Grant me the courage to walk it,
fearlessly as you want me to.

what has happened
in my life this year.

who already knows.
who knows me through and through
better than I know myself.

Quote
“Just trust God. God will provide. Even tomorrow what will happen we don’t know. Believe there is God. God doesn’t always give happy feelings. But in the end we are looking to eternal life. Cooperate and trust and believe. Trust the community and trust God and trust yourself and go day by day and it will take you to the end. You are thinking too much. We don’t know what the future will be.”
– Sister Delan Ma
Prayer
At times when the way ahead,
or even the next step,
seems unclear,
assure me that You know what is to come;
that You envision
a plan to prosper me and not to harm me,
to give me a future full of hope.
