A talk given to The Milltown Prayer Meeting. Sunday 1st January 2023.
Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown.
Give me faith to leave the old ways and break fresh ground with you.
Christ of the mysteries,
Can I trust You to be stronger than each storm
in me?
Do I still yearn for Your glory to lighten me?
I will show others the care You’ve given me.
I will determine amidst all uncertainty always
to trust.
I choose to live beyond regret, and let You recreate my life.
I believe You will make a way for me and provide for
me, if only I trust You and obey.
I will trust in the darkness and know that my times are still in Your hand.
I will believe You for my future, chapter by
chapter, until the story is written.
Focus my mind and my heart upon You, my
attention always on You without alteration.
Strengthen me with Your blessing and appoint
to me the task.
Teach me to live with eternity in view.
Tune my spirit to the music of heaven,
Feed me, and, somehow, make my obedience count
for You.
Brother Alberic
