Another "personal prayer" sang for years, now shared with listeners.. for I think it may be "your prayer too"...

Lord, Teach Me to TRUST

When I cannot see the way...

Lord, cause me to know

That I won't be led astray.

Lord, I cannot doubt
That your eye is leading,

Though I cannot see, but within my spirit.

Your love is sure
- IF I'm in obedience...

And you will be close,
Your strong arms protecting me...

For I have been bought
With your precious blood

I belong to YOU now,
Most Trustworthy One...

For you gave all

Such love,
can be trusted...

In unselfish ways,
You've proven your love for me.

So I will say YES
To what is ahead...

Though not quite aware,
Of what will be...

Receive my "yes"..
That's within my spirit..

And take away FEAR
of what is "now coming"...

For PERFECT LOVE
It casts out all fear,

And when no longer fearful,
I can be obeying,

All your words ...
Your ways ...
All your will
FOR ME...
Your PERFECT WILL.

MUSIC TEACHER LESSON: TRUST

Friends, Let me just share some scriptures about TRUST so you can realize what this song is asking God for, as we pray "Lord, Teach Me To Trust". May the Holy Spirit be your Teacher (smile)...for indeed, I believe these verses don't need ANY "elaboration" on my part. They will capture your heart with faith, as they did mine, I'm sure.

Please feel free to print this out and take time to think on each passage.

Here goes:
