God of hope and God of Resurrection: We need hope in these days. So much violence, so much hate, wars and rumors of wars trouble our spirits. Move us in hope from our prayers to our actions. Help us to continue to speak up and out for justice, for compassion and for love. Instill within our communities a passion for healing and wholeness. In the power of Christ’s resurrection we do pray. Amen.
