A Prayer for Guidance

Posted on May 28th, 2013

I preached on “Saying ‘Yes’ to the Wind of the Spirit” last Sunday, and had wanted to expound on this great prayer by Thomas Merton (1915-1968). I was only able to do so at the end of the third service due to time constraints. The impact on many was surprisingly powerful. So here it is for your prayerful enjoyment with God.

My Lord God,

I have no idea where I am going.

I do not sense the road ahead of me.

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 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 struggles alone.
