Default 1996 6.5 won't start, have power but only clicks when cranked

Hi I don't know much about cars to start off with. When I go to start my truck after the wait to start goes off nothing happens. I have power but it doesn't even crank or anything. I do hear the glow plug controller I think it is click. Help me out here please

Check your starter and all your ground/power wires
