Triune God -
You intercede on our behalf with sighs too deep for words. You are indeed with us and for us.
Yet, we doubt that all things work together for good - particularly as a pandemic unravels our worlds and bluntly exposes imbedded injustices.
What then are we to say about these things? About hardship, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword?
Forgive our doubts, search our hearts, and turn us to the Spirit who intercedes for all of Her saints.
Turn us to Your love in Christ Jesus.
Turn us to the One whose life, death, and resurrection makes it impossible for death, life, angels, rulers, things present, things to come, power, height, depth, or anything else in all creation to separate us from the One who is with us and for us.
Amen.
