Prayer
The other day I came across this prayer by Thomas Merton.
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me, I cannot know for certain where it will end. . . .The fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. . .And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
--Thoughts in Solitude
My heart echoes, I will trust You always, though I feel I am in the shadow of death, for You will never leave me to face my perils alone. How good to be reminded of those Scripture words from the 23rd Psalm and from Hebrews. What a precious promise.
