This prayer by Thomas has helped many of us.
Yours in Christ,
Ray Gilmartin

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 understand 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 troubles alone.

Thomas Merton

But ... does He not give this authority, by extension, to us who believe? Do not we also have the mandate to tell people that the Kingdom of God is here (at hand) and to cast out evil spirits and heal their diseases? Jesus taught that those who ask would receive (from Him), those who seek would find (Him), and those who knock would have the (Heaven's) door opened. - Matthew 7:7 What are we afraid of?
