- A PRAYER OF 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. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think
that 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 that I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do
anything apart from that desir And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the
right
road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will 1" 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 will
never
leave me to face my perils alone.
