I wish I had the strength to show people the way they should go. I need to be a leader, but God, how do I understand your will?
God, why can’t you give me direction?

Voice over: I am the God of Joshua.

Actor: What do I say to them? How do I say it? Do you know who I am and the little that I’m capable of? God, sometimes I feel like you must have called the wrong person to do this.

Voice over: I am the God of Moses.

Actor: Why won’t they believe me? I’m supposed to tell them what they need to know, but they’ll just think I’m some sort of a freak! This is too hard, they won’t listen! God, why can’t you make this easier?

Voice over: I am the God of Noah.

Actor: Sometimes I feel so trapped. I know what I should do and I know what is expected of me. But there are times when I feel as though the world is breathing down my neck, just waiting for me to fail. God, why can’t you give me more confidence?

Voice over: I am the God of Daniel.

Actor: When, God, when? When will I see your answer? I am supposed to wait forever?
