I will make a way. – Isaiah 43:19 (NRSV)
Not sure of the next step? A door seems visible, but how to reach it? Ask God for clarity. If a door doesn't open, look for a window. He, who Himself is the Way will show you the way. He often provides creative options.
Prayer
Lord, help us to trust the past to Your mercy, the present to Your love, and the future to Your providence (St. Augustine).
Quote
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, O'er moor and fen, o'er craig and torrent, till the night is gone. //John Henry Newman (1801-1890), Welsh and English Hymns and Anthems, #27)
Thought
Which is hardest for you - to trust the past to God's mercy, to trust the present to His love, or to trust the future to His providence?

Note: Today's devotion is fifth in a series of eight featuring images from my recent Grand Canyon trip along with quotes from my favorite hymn book, Welsh and English Hymns and Anthems.
The words of one caregiver:
"I can’t plan to go anywhere now without taking her into account—that’s when the lightbulb went on and I started reading your book... In reflection 16, when you asked who in your life has been especially helpful right now, I’m thanking God for you!!"
