My Lord I have no idea where I am going.

THOMAS MERTON’S PRAYER

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.

With me, not only is it "Oh, Lord, I don't know where I'm going..." but I want to add, "Please let me hurry and get there!"

God has a plan for me, and unfortunately, I want to know what it is, right now!


Peace be with you,

Dont we all. Waiting is the hardest part.

I think this is an awesome prayer. I am going to print it and hang it in my room. I believe God has a will and desire for all of us.
You know that the Bible says he will give us the desires of our hearts? I believe that it means that if we seek God with all of our hearts His desires will become OUR desires!
