A Prayer for You
By Sister Julie | February 21, 2008
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!
