    Thomas Merton expresses that he does not know where his path will lead or truly know himself, but believes that desiring to please God pleases God. He hopes all his actions are motivated by this desire to please God, and knows that if he follows this desire, God will guide him along the right road, even if he does not understand where it leads, so he commits to always trusting in God despite feeling lost or afraid.

    Thomas Merton – Meditation

    Lord God
    I have no idea where I am going
    I do not see the road ahead of me
    I can not know for certain where it will end.
    Nor do I really know myself,
    and the fact I think that I’m following your will
    does not mean that I’m 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 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 will never leave me
    to face my perils alone.
    Amen
