Holy God,

Amid our uncertainties–the mysteries of life, death, and life beyond death–we trust in your mercy.
Amid the great disappointments of life, we are bold to believe that you are still leading us through all that comes.
Amid the turmoil and troubles of this time, we are assured that your steadfast love endures forever and that Christ has broken down every wall that divides us.
Loving God, grant us your peace.

Amen

-Gary M. Schulte, Washington, MO
