First prayer in India

We are in India. But not quite there yet.
We are spending a night here at the Dehli Airport, and then flying out to Jaipur in the morning. They have these long, comfortable leathered tanning chairs here, which is a little odd but fortunate for us. All the stores are closed, but nothing is locked or put away. Aren't they worried that someone hungry and awake (like myself) would steal a chocolate bar or something?


I seek You. I come to you with a broken, empty spirit.
I have the desire to be like You. But I come short once again.
I never want to hurt another, I just want to love. But I keep failing effortlessly.
I am sitting here after making a decision I was not prepared for.
I keep wondering. I keep swimming back and forth between these contradictory feelings.
I feel relieved, and then scared, and then slightly guilty. Cycle continues.
Was it discernment? Or was it my arrogance?
Lord, I have confidence only in You.
Please be close to me and direct me.
I don't know what's best for me, but I know You do.
Help me focus on You, and trust You completely throughout this trip.
If my perspective needs to be altered and my mind cleared, please work with me.
Help me be clear of Your intentions for my life.
Help me rediscover You and myself through this trip.
Help me discover what is from You, and what is not.
Help me know what to let go of, and what to keep.
Please help me, hold me, because I feel lost like a little sheep,
and I need every part of me to be found by You.
