Dear God,

Hope can only be found by trusting.   As we trust, really trust in our self and in you, we can find hope, the kind that will sustain us.

In today's world we are deluged with chaos and conflict.  Social media puts us at the doorway of politicians, corruption and misinformation.  Such closeness can drive us mad.  We wonder if we will ever find peace not only in the world but in ourselves.  Hope is necessary for peace and hope can only come if we trust.

And who has an abundance of trust that will help, guide and comfort us?  You, O Lord, only you.  We can discover peace on the surface of things but it is never enough to hold us up.  We need you and a strong ability to trust enough for meaningful, hopeful living.

O God,

we forget

where trust

comes from.

We believe

we are enough

but we

are not.

We need you.

Help us,

we pray.

Love, Andrea
