This last week felt like a month. So rather than reflect on what has happened, here is a prayer for the future.
Dear Lord,
I find I am living through a moment of great upheaval and strife.
The joy is soon followed by great anxiety.
I hope you will be looking over us in this time of transition.
I pray for peace and that justice will come.
I pray that you are with us as we celebrate and with us as we mourn.
The coming months will not be easy, but I know you will be with me as I journey through.
In your name gracious and loving God.
Amen
