The Road I Choose To Take

A Prayer of Unknowing
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.
Amen.
    ––     Thomas Merton
