I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Good morning Twitter friends &#x1f31e;<br \/>Have a wonderful day!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/photography?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#photography<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/photo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#photo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PHOTOS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PHOTOS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/sunrise?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#sunrise<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Sunrisephotography?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Sunrisephotography<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EqOZk3rKLs\">pic.twitter.com\/EqOZk3rKLs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Viktor Polic (@ViktorPolic) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ViktorPolic\/status\/1469176790727933961?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 10, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
