Through Life’s Complexities

By Dorothy Pierson

Loving Presence,

Thank You for Your flow
Of life and joy and good,
And thank You
For helping me know
That I have a place and purpose
In Your infinite plan …
That You forever take me
By the hand and lead me
To and through life’s complexities.

I talk to You, God. I listen within.
You speak with bright inspiration
In my mind—so natural—
So simply, I find
I think it is my own thinking!
But then as I look back
I see it wasn’t me;
It was You all the time!
I realize anew
That I am guided and directed by You
When I listen.
