Yet, you call us to share the road with people from all walks of life. All: Nevertheless, give us the courage to begin. Leader: This journey may be filled with detours and obstacles. There will be moments when this will not go as planned. All: Nevertheless, give us the courage to begin. Leader: Give us wisdom to know when it’s time to rest and when our bodies and souls need to be refueled. All: Nevertheless, give us the courage to begin.
