On Failure: Part I



It is late, but I have been up because I can't go to sleep. Unfortunately, I didn't get a job that I interviewed for, and it has been the latest in a laundry list of frustrations that have marked 2012. I will post an entry that gives you a better idea of how I'm handling this, but beware, it's long and personal. Don't worry, I'm okay.

In the meantime, join me as I pray with the words of Thomas Merton:

"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.  No 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 that 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 lost and in the shadow of death.  I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and will never leave me to face my perils alone."
Amen!
