Sometimes I feel
like I can’t figure out a thing
I don’t know where I’m going
or even who I am
I stand at an open gate
and wonder which direction to take
wonder where each path may lead
and what adventures await
Excitement and bravery
get shoved to the back of my mind
roughed up, knocked down
by negative thought bullies
I feel panic start to rise
thoughts of doubt and fear
Insecurity quickly
steals my joy
Can I trust myself?
Can I figure it out?
And then I remember
I don’t have to do this alone
I have the Holy Spirit
within me
I have a guide and a compass
right in my heart
Waiting to whisper
what step to take
who to watch out for
where to go
If I can just be still
and listen
and let the Spirit lead me
