Prayer for when you struggle:

God before me, God behind me,

God above me, God beneath me.

I am on your path, O God.

You, O God, on my way.

In the twistings of the road,

In the currents of the river,

Be with me by day

Be with me by night

Be with me by day and night.

Old Gaelic prayer:
 

As the rain hides the stars, 

as the autumn mist hides the hills, 

as the clouds veil the blue of the sky, 

so the dark happenings of my lot hide the shining of thy face from me. 

Yet, if I may hold thy hand in the darkness, it is enough. 

Since I know that, though I may stumble in my going, 

thou dost not fall.

Prayer:
Father of all humankind, who keeps my journey and marks the horizon of my destiny, love me through my journey toward tomorrow. 

Son of God, leader and keeper of the maps, show me not the whole road at once, but give me the distance to be gained in single steps.

Spirit of God, who holds my inner compass, may your presence on the journey and awaken trust within me when I don’t know what lies around the bend.

God, bless me this day, then I shall make my journey by sunlight and know the way.

Christ, bless to me this uncertain step, then I shall find the step more certain.Spirit, bless to me this lonely moment, then I shall not be alone.

O Three-in-One, do guard my steps.

Travel with me, God, and I shall travel with the darkness at my back and the sunlight on my face.

Travel with me, Christ. Then I shall mute the thunder, and walk through lightening unafraid. 

Travel with me Holy Spirit, and my solo anthem shall have an accompaniment throughout the journey. 

I am coming to you, O Three-in-One. 

One day at a time, one hour at a time, one step at a time. Amen.
