I love a good written word, paragraph, sentence, or phrase. They move me and give words to emotions that are difficult for me to describe. So I’ve included here one of my favorite quotes or prayers. I have prayed it often throughout my life. Let me know what you think of it. But also let me know what quotes have moved or changed you?
And who knows maybe I’ll post quotes to live by more often!
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, and the fact that I think 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, though I may know nothing about it. 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 ever with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone. -Thomas Merton
Plattsville Church 
i like, very much.
I really like this prayer. I have certainly prayed that type of prayer during my walk with the Lord.
Favourite quote…..
“There are no enduring relationships without forgiveness”
(I think from James McDonald)
I love that quote. In fact I’m actually preaching on forgiveness for the next few weeks I might even use it!
“Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness. It strikes us as we walk through the dark valley of a meaningless and empty life….It strikes us when year after year, the longed for perfection does not appear, when the old compulsions reign within us as they have for decades, when despair destroys all joy and courage. Sometimes at that moment, a wave of light breaks into our darkness and it is as though as voice were saying: “You are accepted. You are accepted, accepted by that which is greater than you, and the name of which you do not know…Do not try to do anything now; perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for anything, do not perform anything, do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted. If that happens to us, we experience grace”. Shaking the Foundations – Paul Tillich
That is beautiful. I re-read it this morning, and it really touched what I was feeling
