O God, Whose presence is always near and Whose wisdom is infallible, deliver us from confusing our own selfish desires and ambition with Your holy will; from indifference and overconfidence; from fear and dread of the future; from an attitude of defeatism or of compromise with the forces of evil. Grant us a full measure of wisdom and understanding, of courage and strength, and faith and fortitude to meet all the challenges of this day and every day.
Enable us to hear continually the words of the Prophet: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31) Amen.
