Hajja Salesjana October-December 2019

27 H AJJA S ALESJANA R Dear 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 this:  I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You.  I hope I have that desire in everything I do.  I hope I never persist in 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 at the time. Therefore I will trust You always,  for though I may be lost, and in the shadow of death, I will not be afraid,  because I know You will never leave me to face my troubles all alone.
