O Lord –
You are our God, and we trust in You.
Hold our times in Your hand…our times of distress, of grief, of sorrow, of sighing, of misery. Hold our times of wasting away and failing strength and be gracious to us.
You are our God, and we trust in You.
For those scorned, those treated as objects, those connected with horror and fleeing, those broken vessels, those who hear terror all around…deliver them from the hand of their persecutors.
You are our God, and we trust in You.
Shine Your face upon Your servants. Save us in Your steadfast love.
Amen.
(Passion/Palm Sunday is April 10.)
