Searching for inspiration

I'm searching for inspiration both from on high and around me. I can seriously say that it has never been more difficult to create my work. Usually the flow of work is pretty smooth, I can say that not every one is a keeper, but the production of work is steady. For this, I often find myself thinking more than doing.

What do I say, what do I want the art work to say? Do I have a message?

I've got so many questions and so few answers, and I keep thinking about what I'm going to say at Graduate Critique.

All I can do is tell them the truth.
I'm searching for a way to converse with the viewer, to portray something that will, hopefully, connect them to the work and start them thinking about their connection not only to others but to God.
I don't know if this is going to work, if it's going to go anywhere. It may just be a journey that I'm taking and I may not find anything to say, or find that what I have to say doesn't translate well in my work. But I'll use this time, this community to hash out my work and find out what I want to do.
