broken lines (collection 25)

from Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
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 will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone.
