When Many Avenues Are Closed

When Many Avenues Are Closed

When many avenues are closed,

for all the reasons that come up in life;

we find ourselves searching for a way forward.

We may get discouraged

and forget to listen for your voice.

Enter our weakness,

our lack of trust.

Help us find hopeful hearts.

If no clear path opens,

guide our next step,

it is labeled trust.

And the next one,

it is labeled gratitude.

Then, listening, we may hear your angel Guide speaking,

“For God’s sake, this needs doing and you can do it.”
