Standing in the desert
Here I am, Lord,
Standing in the desert,
Uncertain of the path,
Always, I am sure,
safely in your hand,
even as the dusty winds blow,
hiding my way.
As I walk through this valley
my view blocked by the mountains casting gray shadows,
I will not fear what those shadows hide,
for you are,
and have always been, my guide.
In my smallness,
in my uncertainty and pain,
I will cling to your promises,
this day, and always,
Amen.
