We use this prayer sometimes at our Reflection group and I thought I would share it today with you. It is from his "Thoughts in Solitude":
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. 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.
I find much to reflect upon in this prayer and each time I use it a different thought leaps out to grab me. Today it is I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You.
