Prayer of Good Courage

O God, you have called your servants

to ventures of which we cannot see the ending,

by paths as yet untrodden, through joys and perils unknown.

Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go,

but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
