Rick asks God to hear our voice this day, he prays to Christ of the wilderness and of fearful spaces, that in every step Jesus will walk with us, and at every pace open our eyes. Rick invokes Christ’s love and companionship when we despair of all hope; ‘When evil darkens our world give us light, when despair numbs our souls give us hope, when nothing seems sure give us trust, when ideals fade give us vision, when we lose our way be our guide that we may find serenity and purpose in your presence and will.’ – our Morning Prayer.
