Prayer

Loving Lord, we often confront a world not of our own choosing. Today, we are confronted by a global pandemic, a contentious election, the push for racial justice, and the degradation of our climate, not to mention the personal challenges we face each day. The temptation is to allow ourselves to drown amidst the challenges confronting us. Yet we know maintaining a positive, hopeful attitude in the midst of these circumstances is crucial. Fill our hearts with your love and with trust in your promises that we might confront the challenges of each day with hope and confidence, grounded in your love and fidelity. Amen.
