God I trust in you, and I give myself unto you knowing your love surrounds me in all that I do. Comfort me and give me strength when times feel tough and it feels easier to relent and capitulate to evil, than stand firm in faith. Remind me that the answer to suffering is not more suffering. May I walk in peace with you. In loving one another we find your gifts of love and peace. I pray for peace for those who walk with me and peace for those who walk against me. Amen.
