Reflection and Renewal: Finding God In Times of Trouble (based on Lamentations 3:22-24)

     Longing To Be Loved - Unknown

God, your love is endless. Your mercy doesn't fade-out and there's no bottom of the barrel when it comes to your grace.

Help us to remember this and to remind each other of it, especially when it feels least true.  When doubt, fear, and every kind of trouble surrounds us, we often wish to escape.  

But God, these times do not mean that we are alone. You remain within and around us. If we keep that in mind as we seek glimpses of grace, we can begin to see you everywhere. 

God, thank you for those who are your hands and feet to us. Thank you for the privilege of being your hands and feet to others.

Amen.
