It seems Your hand of providence
Is best understood when looking back
As I move forward in faithful obedience
I see that You have prepared the way
I feel Your gentle hand guiding me
Directing my footsteps
With each step taken I can clearly see
That You have gone before me and prepared the way
Lord, I must confess that I don’t understand
The whys and wherefore of this new chapter
I’m not certain what You will be doing in me
Or how You might use me as part of Your plan
When I feel weak and overwhelmed
Help me to cry out to You for strength, wisdom and peace
Help me to not hesitate in fear of the unknown
But unwaveringly follow Your lead
