Destination Unknown 2

Last year my church did this really awesome mission trip called Destination Unknown. The idea is that you sign up and train for a mission trip without knowing where you are going. You know the dates you will be gone, but that's it. They are doing it again this year and I am planning to go. We'll be gone February 15-25. I signed up for this year's trip.
We had our informational meeting today. I am so excited. I can't wait to train for everything and see what God has in store. It's the perfect timing as I am getting ready to graduate and embark on a life version of destination unknown. It's a great opportunity to just trust God and go where He sends me.

Psalm 143

Psalm 143
1 O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.

2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteous before you.

3 The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.

4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.

5 I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.

6 I spread out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

9 Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.

10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.

11 For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.
