If you ever felt at a loss for where to go, hopeless, and couldn’t find your way again…Pause, embrace the moment, and come to Jesus in prayer.
In silence, you become more aware of His presence.
In solitude, you amplify His gentle whispers.
And in stillness, you allow His wisdom to light your path, navigate your steps, and take you in the right direction.
Here’s a lovely prayer by Thomas Merton, one that recognizes the feeling of being lost, but at the same time, conveys confidence that God will direct your path and be by your side always.
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 that 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 will I 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.
