Psalm 31

God, when I was lost and felt alone you were there.
When I didn’t know which way to go you illuminated my path.
You saved me from despair and gave my life purpose.
But there are still days I struggle to get it right.

Be patient with me;
I still need time…
Time to process what I have learned about the world,
And about myself.

I still get overwhelmed and lost at times.
Sometimes feels like I am making the same mistakes over and over again,
But each time I am learning;
Moving closer to the path you have set before me.

The difference is now when I feel lost, I know I am not alone;
You are there with me,
Calling me back;
No matter how many times it takes.

I am in awe of your patience,
And constant presence;
Guiding me along a good path;
A little more each day.

Thank you, God for you unceasing presence;
Constantly working for good in the world.
When we let your love in it shines through in all we do;
Reminding us that one day we all be united in love.
