Benediction: Trusting God's Presence When We God Feels Absent (based on Psalm 13:5)

God, help us not to completely lose hope when you seem far away or when our walk through this world is difficult at times or feels incredibly lonely at times.

Give us grace to trust your presence even when it feels like you're not there. Help us to be the grace of your presence to those around us who aren't feeling you near.
