Lord, I feel lost. I am not sure which way to go, or even who I am right now — the map I was using stopped matching the ground a while ago. Your word offers a quiet promise: that I will hear a voice behind me saying, this is the way, walk in it. I cannot see the whole road, and I am tired of pretending I can. So guide me one step at a time. When I cannot find the way forward, be the voice that tells me which next step to take, even if it is small. Keep me from panicking in the meantime, and from choosing a direction just to escape the discomfort of not knowing. Help me trust that being lost is not the same as being abandoned, and that You have not lost track of me even though I have lost track of myself. Lead me gently, Lord, until the path becomes clearer. One step is enough for now. Amen.
A prayer for you
