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 I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
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 I 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.
Someting told me to come here today. I don’t know what it is about Thomas Merton, but every time I’m struggling with something, I am lead to something he wrote, posted on someone’s blog.
Congratulations…God has just used you to deliver a very special message to a lost soul…me!
God bless you!
Adoro, funny thing…I forgot to post that earlier in the week, and it came to me as I was cleaning my bathroom and printing out the next week’s retreat reflections…so God intended it to be here for you. 🙂 Being an instrument is such a joy sometimes, and now is one of those times!
