Oh, God.
I expected something so very different than this.
Help me to get past my surprise and frustration and begin to see the possibilities I didn’t expect.
Amen.
Help us, Dear God.
Things are awful. I want so much to help. I feel so helpless.
Be with me and the people I am trying to care for.
Ease the pain, calm the fear, bring peace and hope.
Surround us with your presence and your love.
Amen.
