God, even in our times of trouble - and even in times when we’ve brought trouble on ourselves - your grace helps us to stand and to lean into life instead of remaining stuck.
No matter what, you are always moving within and around us, still calling us back to meaningful connection with you and your world, still reaching out to us through all of the grace-giving things that are conduits of your goodness. Even in our times of mournful silence may we find morsels of hope. Even in our times of sorrow, loneliness, pain, and anger; may we find even small sparks of joy.
We give thanks for the blessings that are your grace.
