Ever present and everlasting God, we lift up to You today in prayer our hesitant spirits. Wipe away the cloud of darkness that has us believing we are powerless, that our voices are not heard, that our actions are meaningless. Remind us that You are with us always, behind us to encourage us, above us to watch over us, beside us to befriend us, within us to empower us, before us to show us the way. Strengthen our faith and our confidence and shine Your light through us. Let it burn through the fog that blocks our forward motion so that we can see clearly the path You have set before us. Selah.
