Prayer to the God of the Journey

I just came across this, and thought it was gold. Maybe a bit related to my previous post.

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 the 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… I will not fear, for you are ever with me.

– Thomas Merton
