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...Nor do I really know
myself, and 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 hope I
have that desire in all that I am
doing...and I know that if I
do this you will lead me by the
right road, through 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.
~Thomas Merton
