I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road;
I do not ask that thou would'st take from me
Aught of its load.
For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead:
Lead me aright--
Though strength should falter, and though heart should bleed--
Through peace to light.
--Adelaide A. Procter.
O, why and whither?--God knows all,
I only know that he is good,
And that whatever may befall
Or here or there, must be the best that could.
--John G. Whittier.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
Make thy way straight before my face.
--Psalm 5. 8.
Loving Father, may I never fail to ask for thy guidance, for thou hast promised to lead me to the cool springs while I pass through the desert places. Help me to put myself in thy keeping and say, "Thy will be done." Amen.
