Prayer for January 11, 2022

O God of Hope and Wonder, may this day be filled with both. We have been struggling with all the side affects of COVID for so long that it is hard to see beyond it. May we look for and find those things that are glorious in spite of the challenges we face right now. Let those things flourish and grow in such a way that they stand out as a pillar of Hope to us and strengthen our faith. Help us to be thankful for the many gifts we have been given. When faced with anxious moments may we feel your presence guiding us. All this we ask in the name of an ever present God. Amen
