Wilderness Prayer

Greetings Friends and Family,

It's been a while since I've posted here.  I havent forgetten!!  Life has just been a whirlwind.  I'll keep today's post short and to-the-point.  As of late, I've had my share of challenges that I feel have knocked me off course with my relationship with God.  In the spirit of transparency, I feel lost.  Me being the business person that I am, I feel compelled to have a strategy for finding a solution for getting myself back on track. Truth is, I don't have one.  But I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this old prayer.  It is my prayer for today, tomorrow, and the next.  I hope that if you are in the same place as I, that you may embrace this prayer as well:

"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. 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... 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 with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. ~ Thomas Merton (Thoughts of Solitude)"
God Bless,

Marc
