I came across this prayer from Thomas Merton - who was a monk in the 20th century and it really rang loud and clear......
My Lord God
I have no idea where I am going
I do not see 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.
