Hope

Reflection

“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all.” ~ Emily Dickinson

Prayer

Lord of the future, COVID-19, struggles for racial justice, and staggering unemployment have shaped our daily lives this past year. But we have also witnessed extraordinary bravery in the face of the global pandemic, renewed commitment to justice for all, and communities coming together to support each other through rough times. May these acts of courage, justice, and compassion for one another inspire within us the hope that light will always prevail over darkness, love will overcome apathy, and that good will speak the final word of human existence. We pray to you, the Lord of the past, present, and future. Amen.
