Loving God,
we put our trust in your abiding presence in our lives.
Strengthen our faith in times of adversity and suffering.
Give us a new awareness of God moments
in our everyday lives,
and help us gain
from these experiences
a deepened desire to follow your will and way.
Give us the grace to share with others
how you are working in our lives.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, the risen Lord.
Amen.
