Shared Prayer

Heavenly Father Lord, we hold fast to your promise when fear grips a child at night, when a parent worries for tomorrow, when a friend faces loneliness in a crowded room. Remind us you are with us, not far off, and that you strengthen and help us in every moment. We choose to trust that no storm is stronger than your presence, that you uphold us with your righteous hand. All things are possible to them that believeth, so give us courage to step forward in faith today. And may we see that even our smallest efforts, done in your name, can become steps toward our good because you love us and work all things together for our good. Keep us steady, keep us hopeful, keep us close to you. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
