 Dear God,

Only you give real peace, peace that can last a long time, peace that changes things.  Your name is synonymous with peace.

Our nation is in chaos, O God.  It has turned in upon itself.  It has become divided, crazy, mean-spirited, chaotic and lost.  This president began sowing seeds of dissension when the Women's March in Washington drew more people than those to his inauguration nearly four years ago.  How could we lose so much ground so rapidly?

We need to turn to you, Almighty God, for you alone can give us peace and hope and guidance.  Forgive us when we totally rely on ourselves and forget what you offer every day.  Forgive us too when we spout words that disappoint, hurt and damage others.  We forget the light that dispels the darkness.  We forget you.

Blessed are you,

Loving God,

for your way

is always better

than our own.

We need you.

Help us turn

toward you.

Love, Andrea
