One of my favourite authours – whom I have read over the years starting a decade or two ago. Sage advice in this paragraph with a link to the full article.
As the story is told, renowned ethicist John Kavanaugh once traveled to India to meet with Mother Teresa for spiritual guidance and advice. He visited her ministry in Calcutta (now called Kolkata, the original Bengali name) and set up a time to speak with her. She asked him “What can I do for you? How can I pray for you?” to which Kavanaugh said, “Please pray that I might have clarity about the future and what God wants me to do.” Mother Teresa surprised him by saying, “I will not pray for you to have clarity.” Kavanaugh was taken aback. He had not expected her to refuse him like that, so he asked why not. She said to him, “You do not need greater clarity. You need greater faith. That’s what I will pray for.”
