We pray for those stranded on one side of the chasm, unable to move forward because of doubt, lack of trust or unbelief. Grant us the patience and empathy to stay with them until they feel able to cross. And as we wait, help us not to judge them but to examine honestly the things that also hold us back. Lord Jesus, as you reach out to us, grant us the belief and confidence to make the leap of faith towards the life to which you call us. Amen.
