Reflection

“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Prayer

Lord of time, watching the news can often remind us of the seemingly insurmountable problems we face but not of the fundamental goodness of the people committed to surmounting them. As we confront the difficulties we face, console us with your abiding presence and give us the strength to trust in the goodness of your promises and your people. May we always look to you for inspiration and guidance and renew our hope that our contribution will help move us to a better day. In hope, we pray. Amen.
