leaning on the lord {parable}

Moving forward, and looking back, but where have I really gone? I’m so confused with no one to assist. I thought I stepped here, and I thought I stepped there, but it’s footprints everywhere. So I take a rest, and lean…but I stumble. Then I think to myself, I want to go back, but how will I get out? I cry out, Lord help me, I need to know the way. Yet I hear nothing, so I go on my own figuring it out myself, then lean, but I fall. I look up, I look down, but just where am I now? I was comfortable back there, but back there where? I can no longer see the way back; the only way is forward. What lies up there, I don’t know, but I’m guessing that’s the way to go…Lord where are you?…Still no answer. Pushing through pain, I’m trying to find something solid to rest upon, cuz I’m tired but I keep moving on. I say Lord, you promised you would never leave me, and I need you, only you can help me. I finally lean…on what I don’t know; only this time I didn’t fall, nor stumble, I was stable. And as I lean I see an open door. I get up, and then lean again, and there was another, and another open door. I now understand that this thing I’m leaning on is powerful, bigger than anything I know, it guides me, and shows me where to go. So I ask myself, what is this thing I’m leaning on? And then I heard a voice say: I heard your cry, and I’ve been here all along. All you had to do was acknowledge me, and believe in me. I was confused, and I thought I was alone, all hope was gone….but EVERYTHING,EVERYTHING , was alright when I called on him……and LEANED.
