Prayer Offered for June 28, 2021

This is the prayer of Thomas Merton, from his book, Thoughts in Solitude.

Gracious 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 the desire in all that I am doing.

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.—AMEN.

(Thoughts in Solitude by Thomas Merton)
