". . . You who seek God, take heart . . . "

Lord, let us not be distracted by evil nor by what others say or do. Let us seek God and take heart. Let us constantly be aware that God is alive and is with us here and now. God walks with us at every moment and wherever we go. May the awareness of God’s presence in our life and in the life of those around us make a difference in the way we live.

Lord, it is your continuing presence, love, guidance, and care of all your creation that is the greatest and most commonplace miracle you perform. We give you thanks that, even though we may not always recognize or give you thanks for your merciful and compassionate love, you do not abandon us or forget us. Be with us and draws us to the wonder of your love and lead us to serve and love others in your name.

Lord, may I seek you always and take heart.

Amen.
