Lord, as the tempest that surrounds me reaches the peak of its strength,
I look to the horizon for the breaking of your light that penetrates even the darkest of clouds to herald a glorious new dawn in your name.
So, do I look to the glory and infinite wisdom of God,
that I may be delivered a vision of breaking through the troubles that beset me.
Teach me how I may steer my ship through this storm.
Grant me your strength, willpower, and grace
that I may know when to row, and when to allow the will of the waves to guide me on your path.
Renew me in your service and place me on a path of righteousness,
that my life may be a testament to your divine glory.
May your light guide me, that I may break through.
Thanks be to the Lord. Amen.
