Journey of things unfair

If knowing answers to life’s questions is absolutely necessary to you, then forget the journey. You will never make it, for this is a journey of unknowables—of unanswered questions, enigmas, incomprehensibles, and most of all, things unfair. -Madame Jeanne Guyon

It is a wrestle
And ultimate surrender: I am not God 
I do not make and I do not save
I am a needy creature
With longings and bias 
And only the creator knows the end from the beginning, 
and is working it all for good.
To trust in your infinite goodness and wisdom 
To rely on your sovereignty 
To press on in faith 
That is the journey.
To accept the things I cannot change 
And change the things I can
That is the journey. 
To keep hoping and loving 
Because you loved me first 
That is the journey.
