Prayer & Praise

You know my soul.

You know all that needs to be done there.

Do it in Your own way.

Draw me to You, O my God.

Fill me with Pure Love of You alone.

Make me never go aside from the way of Your love.

Show me clearly that way and never let me depart from it: that will be enough.

I leave everything in Your hands. You will guide me without error and without danger and I will love You all the way.

I will belong to You.

I will not be afraid of anything for I shall remain in Your hands and never leave You.

From Entering the Silence, by Thomas Merton; page 101.

    Praying now for Johnnie…

    The Merton prayer is beautiful. Thank you.

    Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way. Thou are the Potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me, after Thy Will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.

    I request prayers for my four sons, David, Aaron, Jonathan and Peter… all who do not know Jesus. Their souls and salvations are my continual prayer…
