  Let us pray.

  God, I am lost.
• 0:11
  Not the kind of lost a map can fix — the kind where I look at my own life and cannot tell how I got here or which way is forward.
• 0:21
  The plans I made have gone quiet.
• 0:24
  The things I was sure of have gotten less sure.
• 0:27
  People keep asking what's next, and I have run out of confident answers.
• 0:32
  But Lord, I remember this: You are good at finding people.
• 0:36
  You found shepherds in fields and fishermen at their nets.
• 0:40
  You found runaways under broom trees and doubters behind locked doors.
• 0:46
  Being lost has never once hidden anyone from You.
• 0:50
  So find me here.
• 0:51
  Not where I said I would be by now — here, in the middle of this fog, holding a plan that didn't work.
• 0:59
  I am not asking You to explain the last few years.
• 1:02
  Some of that may never make sense this side of heaven, and I am learning to leave it in Your hands.
• 1:07
  I am asking for something smaller and harder: the next step, and the courage to take it.
• 1:14
  Lead me by paths I have not known.
• 1:17
  Make the darkness light in front of me, and the crooked places straight enough to walk.
• 1:22
  If the way forward is not the life I pictured, help me grieve that picture and then let it go, because Your plans have outdone mine before.
• 1:32
  And while I wait for the fog to thin, keep me faithful in the small things I can still see: today's work, today's people, today's kindness.
• 1:42
  Wandering feels less like wandering when I am walking it with You.
• 1:48
  You have never lost anyone You meant to keep.
• 1:51
  You will not start with me.
• 1:54
  In Jesus' name, Amen.
• 1:58
