I stole this, but it's still good...

Father-God, hear my heart in this piece!

"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 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
