Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben
We give thanks to You, O God, for You are good. Your steadfast love endures forever. For You have guided this body through the complex challenges of these times and have restored to us the assurance of Your steadfast love in all circumstances.
Why, then, do we doubt Your provision?
Why do we fail to trust in Your care and keeping?
Before we even call, You are already listening, providing for our needs in ways we cannot comprehend. While we are still sharing with You our worries and concerns, You have already heard the yearnings of our hearts.
Praise be to You, O Lord, who has not rejected our prayers or withheld Your love from us.
So in confidence we set before You the work of our hands and the desires of our hearts, praying in the strength that is ours when we call on Your name.
It is in Your sovereign name we pray. Amen.
