A Prayer for Lent

“My Lord God, I’ve no idea where I’m going.
I don’t see the road ahead of me.
I can’t know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I’m following your will
doesn’t 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’m doing.
I hope that I’ll never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you’ll lead me by the right road,
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I’ll trust you always though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death.
I’ll not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you’ll never leave me to face my perils alone.
Amen”

Thomas Merton
