Here I stand

Here I stand at the cusp of a new stage,

Full of endless possibilities,

Somewhat unsure of myself,

Doubting my own potential,

Afraid that I'll fail,

But aware that standing still is suicide.

I'm excited about the possibilities.

But I wonder which way to go.

I'm afraid of what may happen.

But I know it is required that I move. 

O God, you know me better than I know myself.

Please show me which way to go.

New life and direction

When He lifted me out of the mud and the quagmire, He gave me a new song and gladdened my heart.
He turned my aching sorrow into gladness and set me on a firm place.
He gave me fullness of joy in His presence and at His right hand pleasures for evermore.
He set His seal upon me and named me; forever.
He took all my pieces and made a masterpiece, master that He is.
He gave me new meaning and direction.
Then He gave me a new task and asked me to be an instrument; to pull His people out of mud and bring them to Him.
