This reminds me of a story about a Jesuit who asked Mother Teresa of Calcutta to pray that he might have clarity about what to do. She told him he needed to let go of his need for clarity. He reproached her, "You always seem to have clarity about what you do." "No," she said simply. "I have trust. I will pray that you may have trust."
