Lectio Divina: Thomas Merton’s Prayer

Thomas Merton is probably one of the most well known and loved Christian spiritual writers of the 20th Century. His famous prayer that starts "...I have no idea where I am going...", which is the focus of contemplation for this Lectio Divina, resonates strongly with many: an honest, raw, and open prayer seeking to find a balance between the struggles we all have in finding our direction in life on one hand, and the faith to follow God despite not fully seeing where we are headed on the other.
