You Have Been Prayed For… Thomas Merton

Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer this prayer from Thomas Merton.

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 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.”

Father, thank You that You heard this prayer. Amen, in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

If this blessed you or brought you peace, please share this with someone in need.
