What Is This Place ?

I found this poem on Paulo Coelho's website and thought to share it here.

I feel like the words describe my position at the moment. So as I try to find my own words, here are some beautiful compiled words. 

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going,

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself,

and the fact that I think I am following your will

does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.

And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,

though I may know nothing about it.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me,

and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
