The Fog of Doubt

The low visibility was perilous, shrouding the world around me in a thick blanket of fog. Even with my fog lights shining through the gloom, the faint glow only reached a few feet ahead. I squinted into the swirling mist, my heart pounding in my chest, wondering whether I was even on the right path.

An unsettling air of mystery filled the shadows. What if I made a wrong turn and veered off course?

I took a deep breath and uttered a prayer, hoping to reach my destination safely. Surrendering to my higher power, I allowed trust to replace the gnawing doubt and overwhelming fear that threatened me.

Listening intently to my intuition, I heard a whisper of guidance shining through the dark night of the soul. I followed the road through the murky skies until at last the sun returned, illuminating the path once more.
