Reflection notes – Everywhere

Isaiah 6:1-8 & Matthew 28:16-20

• Have there been times you have tried to tackle situations without God?

• Sometimes God shows up in powerful ways when we’re least expecting it and other times He moves quietly into a situation. Are there particular moments you can share that have strengthened you faith and may encourage others on their journey?

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
