A Prayer of Thomas Merton
Dear God.
I am not sure where I am going. I do not see the road ahead. I cannot be certain where it will end. I do not really know myself: sometimes I fool myself, pretending to follow your will, yet knowing I am not. But I believe this: that the desire to please you, does in fact, please you. I hope I have this desire in everything I do. I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road, though I may not know it at the time.
Therefore, I will trust you always and I will never be afraid, because you will never leave me to face my troubles alone.
Thank your dear God, for all you have given me; for all you have taken from me; and for all you have left me.
