When the Way Seems Dark Before Me...

When the way seems dark before me, give me grace to walk trustingly:
When much is obscure to me, let me be all the more faithful to the little I can clearly see:
When the distant scene is clouded, let me rejoice that at least the next step is plain:
When what Thou art is most hidden from my eyes, let me still hold fast to what Thou dost command:
When insight falters, let obedience stand firm:
What I lack in faith, let me repay in love...

(A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie, p. 115)
