this is a prayer that has become central to my life recently.
I know as young adults we can be overwhelmed (i do) by decisions concerning our future. It scares me because I dont want to put myself in a box in the future(this is why i hate choosing a major) by my decisions today. the following prayer was given to me by a wise friend, it has become my prayer, and is changing my life. The author is Trappist monk Thomas Merton.

My Lord God
I have no idea where I'm going
I do not see the road ahead of me
I can't know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself
And the fact that i think I'm 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 that I have that desire in all that I do
I hope I 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 in the shadow of death
I will not fear, for you are ever with me
And I know you will not leave me to face my perils alone.

we are nothing but clay,
