Loving and merciful God,
In this difficult and trying time, we give you thanks for the many blessings that you have bestowed upon us, especially the gift of love and life. In all that we experience in this life journey, increase our faith that you are always there with us, nurturing and caring for us. Forgive us at times when we feel like you have abandoned us and have left us alone in our difficult time. Give us the grace to realize your presence even when we cannot see or feel it. Be with Lord, for without you we cannot do anything. Keep us all in your loving embrace and in your powerful protection.
Amen.
