God of Everything,

blanket the anxiety of our world

with your compassionate warmth and grace

giving hope to the hopeless,

strength to the saddened,

and abiding peace to all.

May the beauty of your goodness

shine bright everyday through the darkness,

and may we know to look to you

for those things which can only be seen through your eyes.

Protect the brave and sustain the courageous.

It is in you that we live, through you that we love,

and because of you that hope will continue,

now and always.

Hear our prayer.

Amen.
