Resignation.

It pleases Heaven to give us no more light in our way than will leave virtue in possession of its recompense. Grant me, gracious God, to go cheerfully on the road which thou hast marked out; I wish it neither more wise nor more smooth; continue the light of this dim taper thou hast put into my hands; I will kneel upon the ground several times a day, to seek the best track I can with it; and having done that, I will trust myself and the issue of my journey to thee, who art the fountain of joy, and will sing of comfort as I go along.
