O God,
Though there are struggles all around, you are here.
Calm my fear when I hear of war and violence.
Fill me with courage as I learn of struggles and suffering in our world.
Help me to find your wisdom as I live through trials.
Help me to show who you are in my priorities and choices.
Help me to reflect your love, compassion and hope in what I say and do.
Remind me that your love and healing are all around me.
Give me hope that you are transforming world and bringing new life.
Amen.
