A Prayer
Gracious God,
hidden but so near;
You work is within us,
holding our hands and hearts
through trying times.
Awaken us with your love,
As we pray for those we love,
and for those who are lost,
even if they are enemies,
for nobody is a true enemy.
We pray even when we think
times are hopeless,
as they seem now.
Keep us all in your special care,
so miracles can happen;
for our kingdom is your kingdom . . . forever.
Amen.
