A Collect to Trust When God Seems Absent

Great teacher, who walks alongside us on the journey, let us hold fast to you, trusting in your will and your ways, that even when we are prevented from seeing and recognizing your presence around us, we might yet believe that you are working something good and await your revealing at the right time, through you who ascended to the Father and Holy Spirit to reign in glory forever. Amen.

'While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.' - Luke 24:15-16
