The Road Ahead
THE ROAD AHEAD
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 that 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 lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear
for you are forever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my troubles alone.
-- Thomas Merton, O.P.
