Merton’s Prayer:
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 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 I will 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.

This prayer brings me great comfort. It is nice to know that I may not know the all the answers but I'm on the path that I need to be.
I found the link for music.....http://www.iwebtunes.com...check it out.....they don't have the song I wanted..."Broken"....but eventually they will...I can steal stuff from you anytime I want!
hahahaaha... Thats ok cause I stole the prayer from you. I too love this prayer knowing I am on the path does bring comfort and hope even when it doesn't feel good.
