Questions for Reflection:  
1. Did you know much about Thomas Merton before today’s sermon? What surprised you about his life and witness?

2. Can you think of a time when you were unsure if you were being faithful or obedient to God, but knew in your heart that you were trying to orient your life to God’s will and God’s ways? What was that like?

3. How might God be inviting you to use this prayer (or another one from our series) in your daily faith walk?
