The road forks, and forks again. I am bewildered, and yet carrying this load.

Where might I set it down? Is it mine to carry? Have I stumbled onto the wrong path?

Lord, in my childish ignorance, direct me. I am so turned around.

(Letter #1,891)

Lord, let me understand my obligations.

Let me be a responsible member of community.

Let me love and protect your children, my sisters and brothers.

Grant me signs today, of the right courses.

(Letter #1,890)

Your will, pouring over me, let me turn my face towards it.

A flood afflicts the land. How high is my dwelling? Whom shall I rescue?

Grant me eyes and ears to see and hear your instructions, Lord. Grant me willingness to act.

(Letter #1,889)

Thank you for all the ways you are providing what I need. My every lack is being filled if I will only see rightly.

Yet I distract myself and troubles press in. Correct my vision, Lord.

Grant me a grateful heart.

(Letter #1,888)
