We live in volatile times.
It seems as if things are changing rapidly and often for the worse. We feel hope only to have it dashed by another action or event.
We live in uncertain times.
We aren’t sure of the right thing. Do we return to everything that is open or take it slow and easy?
We live in complex times.
Nothing seems simple. Our heads spin as we face challenges.
We live in ambiguous times.
Everything seems inexact, one path seems right but then again maybe another path is the better way.
We yearn for times gone by, times when the answers seemed simple and solutions to problems were clear. Give us clarity. Give us hope and certainty. Focus us on what matters, on your way.
Amen.
