This prayer has helped others desiring to hear God’s direction more clearly, whether to religious life or another vocation.
God,
I know you love me and have great plans for me.
But sometimes I am overwhelmed by the thought of my future.
Show me how to walk forward one day at a time.May I take heart while I search openly,
learn about all the choices,
listen to others for advice,
and pay attention to my own feelings.By doing these things, may I hear your call
to a lifestyle and a career that will let me love as only I can,
and let me serve others with the special gifts
that you have given me.Amen.
