Holy Father,
In the midst of our personal struggles and
a troubling world, we put our hope in You.
We thank You for walking with us.
We know that You are faithful and will deliver us.
We pray for those who don't know You
and those who pervert Your word,
that they would come to truly know You
and have the peace that transcends understanding.
Heal our hearts and make us new so that
through us Your Spirit is evident to all.
In Jesus' holy name,
Amen.
