| | Yeah, so much to do, so much to do. I have a lot on my plate, which is cool, but I'd really like to take a few minutes to sit down. I guess I'm doing that now, so be thankful that I chose to blog instead of the following: napping, eating, hitting my loud air conditioner, playing soccer, doing homework (which is coming up next), or antagonizing innocent theologians. Life is good, and I'm beginning to realize how busy the life of a priest is.
Sometimes I feel like there's a brick wall in front of me. Whether in prayer, growth, or any other thing I try to achieve, there is always an obstacle for me to move past, a hurdle to jump, or a pancake to flip (I love pancakes). Here's a prayer that I say when the "going gets tough:"
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 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 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 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.
Take care of yourself. Pax. |
