Ever-present God,
When I am overwhelmed, bring me courage and peace.
When I am worried or rushed, bring me stillness and hope.
When I am frightened or uncertain, bring me confidence and courage.
When I am unsure, guide me and show me where to go.
When I feel alone, surround me with your presence.
When I don’t know what help I need or how to ask, intercede for me and pray on my behalf.
Show me that you are with me, that I am never alone.
Show me that I have resources to deal with what seems unmanageable.
Show me that there are people around me who can join me in these challenges.
Show me how to care for myself and to trust in my abilities.
Show me how to move ahead, despite my fears and uncertainty.
Show me that you are with me, that I am never alone.
Amen.
