Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

LORD, ONCE AGAIN I HAVE COME TO THE PLACE IN THE DARK WHERE ALL I CAN SEE IS MY FEET...I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM OR WHERE I'M GOING...I AM COMPLETELY POWERLESS TO EFFECT ONE THING IN MY LIFE. I'M ASHAMED THAT I'VE ENDED UP HERE AGAIN...AND I'M AFRAID.

YOU HAVE LED ME THUS FAR...AND NEVER FAILED ME...BUT MY HEART IS SICK, BECAUSE I LONG TO BE GROWN UP ENOUGH TO LEAD OTHERS IN YOUR WAY...I LONG TO SEE THEM DELIVERED AND SET FREE...

I HAVE NO MIGHT...I HAVE NO POWER...I KNOW IN MY HEAD WHERE IT COMES FROM...HOLY SPIRIT GRIEVE NOT AT MY LACK OF FAITH AND UNBELIEF...HELP ME LORD WITH MY UNBELIEF.

MY ONE CONSOLATION IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT A FAILIURE I AM, AND NO MATTER WHAT I THINK OR FEEL...YOU "WILL" FINISH EVERY WORK YOU START...IN ME, IN THOSE I LOVE, AND IN THE WORLD...BE GLORIFIED, AND HONORED AND PRAISED...BLESSED IS YOUR NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME. IN YOU IS POWER AND STRENGTH AND SALVATION...IN YOU ALONE.
