For some reason men of faith the nation wide spend time praying for their coworkers and trying to sneak clever phrases about their faith into conversations and make stands on not drinking or doing drugs.

Well I have been there too. I have been at this point in my car, in the wilderness, and at times, in my life. Understanding when you are lost enables you to fix the problem.
