Trusting in God

God's vision is so much greater than mine.  He sees all; His vision of my son and what my son needs is perfect.  I feel the more I trust in God, the better things will be for my son.  God will light the way for us...it may not be the way we thought or the way we planned, but He will light the way.  He will not leave us in darkness. I have faith in that.

Light the Way

O Lord wilt thou suffer us to bear our afflictions in darkness?
Nay, I have faith that thou wilt light the way to happiness.

I trust in thee with all my heart,

I put faith in thee and do my part.

But my understanding is weak, limited, incomplete,

Thine understanding is perfect, all-knowing, without defeat.

I will lean not to my weak understanding

Rather I seek thy will, unyielding.

Because of thine gift of agency

I can give thee my will freely.

This I do with all the faith that I can find

And turn to thee with a willing heart and mind.

Though I am blinded by the views of the world and men,

I walk by total faith, trusting in thee again and again.

I believe in thee, that thou wilt light the way,

Choosing higher ground for me day by day.

If thou wilt light the way, I know I can move forward each day.

Touch my heart, touch my life, O Lord, I have faith in thy ways.

(see Ether 2 and Proverbs 3:5)
