I Have No Idea...

Here is a great prayer from Thomas Merton for your consideration and, possibly, praying for yourself.  Enjoy!

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.

I hope that I will never do anything
apart from this 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, 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
