Clarity in Confusion

     Lord, the world at large is changing so fast.  I read articles in magazines, headlines in the newspaper, and life presented in books, that just set my mind into a spin.  How am I already so old that new ways of life seem so foreign and unnatural, the future seems so close, and the past so comfortable, but distant.   I have more questions than answers, and I crave understanding.  How do I sort it out to understand? And, Lord, there is so much need in the world, where do I go to help? How do I help? Who do I help? It seems there is so little I can do. I weep inside.
     Yet, every morning when I rise to praise you and read the scriptures, you are there. This morning I find answers in John. The confusion is cleared in John:5 & 6. Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”  Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life." 
     Father God, your Word outlines the claims that give the answers I need. I thank you for the scriptures that teach and comfort.  I praise you for the assurances you bring:
I AM the Ressurection and the Life
I AM the Light of the World
I AM the Gate
I AM the Good Shepherd
I AM the Bread of Life
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Answers to confusion.  Focus for my life.  I will follow you. You have promised that if I have Faith in you, and if I call to you, you will answer.  Father-Son in One, Your plan is Divine.  Your mind is omniscient.  You are omnipresent.  You are enough for me, and I can rest in your mighty fold.  Your Holy Spirit envelopes me, gives me freedom and urges me forward.  Thank you, Father. Thank you.
