| Winding Road ~ by Angelo Cavalli |
Prayer for Trust and Confidence
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.
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 perils alone.
- Thomas Merton
