I came across this great prayer, written by Thomas Merton. It sums up some of the doubts and confusion and yet the desire to do
things God's way; if only we knew what that was! Jeremiah might or might not have had absolute certainty of how God was going to use him, but for most of us it is a bit harder to discern God's directions. We cling to the promise that he will never leave us to face whatever comes alone.
"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."
- Thomas Merton
