We are wandering in the wilderness Lord, and even though it is of our own making, we are lost and confused and afraid.

Help us to hear and to follow the voices of your prophets calling out, inviting us into a better way. (Is. 40:3).

Lead us through the change, the adversity, our fears and anxieties.

Let us, like Abraham, follow your love, even though we do not fully know where we are going. (Heb. 11:8)

Sustain our hope in what we cannot yet see (Heb. 11:1), and guide us towards your peace.

Amen

Holy Spirit guide us.

Noise, fear, anger, surprise – constant and unrelenting – scrambles our focus, feeds our anxiety.

And we feel lost, wondering which way to go.

Show us your ways.

Ways of love, of courage, of compassion, of self-control.

Calm our troubled spirits and grant us wisdom.

Help us to follow where you would lead.

Amen.
