Eternal God, can we, in these precarious times, trust You enough to cast all of our anxieties on You? The earth around us gives way. Things that we have depended on, staked our lives on, are now uncertain. How can we not be afraid?
The mountains fall into the heart of the sea. Pillars of strength we have counted on are overcome by the waves of tumult and change. You have the power to bring down the powerful from their thrones. Can we even hope that You will show favor to the humble?
Yes, God, for You alone are our refuge and strength, an ever–present help in times of trouble. You alone will be exalted. Your mercy extends to those who fear You from generation to generation, and You have promised to fill the hungry with good things.
We lay before You all our cares and believe that You care for us. Let us be still and know that You are God, today and always.
In Your sovereign name we pray. Amen.
All I have seen has taught me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
