A Prayer for You

by Sister Julie on February 21, 2008  J.M.J.A.T.

in prayer

This one’s for you, Courtney, and all of us who seek to follow God’s path. 

“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 that 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 although 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.”  ~ Thomas Merton

Sister Julie.

I’ve always loved this prayer by Merton, and I really needed to read it today in the midst of some personal storms through which I travel. Thanks!
