Lord I don't know where this is going

I think that if I had to pick a single song to be my anthem for this year I would choose this one:

Lord (I don't know) by Newsboys
You are the author of knowledge
You can redeem what's been done
You hold the present and all that's to come
Until your everlasting kingdom

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

You are the God of tomorrow
Turning the darkness to dawn
Lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come

Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

The line Lord, I don't know where all this is going; Or how it all works out has been running through my head off and on throughout all the year. Sometimes I have so many questions and so many problems and so many issues with Christianity that I get myself completely bogged down. I end up completely confused and wondering who out of the vast number of theologians all with their different conceptions is correct. Finally it comes down to we don't know and all we can do is have hope that whilst we don't know where this world is going or how everything will work out that God does know. Not to doubt that God has it all in hand even though we might not have any understanding in how it possible can all come together.

I think that is the one thing that I am going to take away from this year having faith in God that he is going to resolve everything in wisdom, love, and grace.

So I still don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
But I can have hope that God will lead us to a peace
that passes all doubt that things can possibly be resolved
