Lord God,
Sometimes the world can make us feel unworthy and undervalued.
Help us to remember that You make us new each day
and we were created to be like You.
Horrible things happen in the world
and sometimes we feel helpless and hopeless.
Strengthen us so that we may always know that our hope is in You.
We pray for a calm and compassionate mindset
so that we may respond to adversity with truth and love.
May all that we do be done for Your glory.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
