Why So Prone To Wander?

God of compassion, who has revealed the light of your glory, the love of your concern, your constant care over us -- Why would we ever turn away? -- Why do we keep on being distracted by our own plans? -- We speak when we should be listening, and act when we should wait. Thank you Lord for your patience as we pilgrims learn to live and grow where you have planted us, faithfully surrendered like a rose or sagebrush.
