Prayer

Gracious God, each day the news confronts us with the challenges we face as individuals and as communities. Each day, we face the temptation to give in to our fears, anxieties, and mistrust. Each day, we come to you that you might support us in the face of such temptations. Encourage us to be people of hope and increase our trust in the goodness of our shared future. We pray in your name. Amen.
