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 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 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
