Holy God –
Uncertainty isn’t easy for me.
The unknown challenges me and so many others.
We’re trying to figure this all out:
How to agree to disagree.
How to be kind when we’d rather be angry.
How to win and lose graciously.
How to breathe through things beyond my control.
Help me and those around me remember that the things of today are temporary. Not eternal. One day, they will not be center-stage.
Help me resist the temptation to trust something of this world more than I trust you.
Allow me to engage with the things of this world while at the same time, keep my hope rooted in You.
Help me model peace. Empathy for others. Gracious compassion for those who win and those who lose.
May our leaders be driven by honest prayer and sit it Your feet daily.
Challenge me to remember that You have been present throughout history; even when things were difficult and challenging. You were with the people then and You will be with us today.
May I embrace the qualities that Jesus lived and breathed and may these be more important than being right.
Help me be confident that Your presence and wisdom and guidance will rise above whatever happens today. This week. Going forward. Amen.

Blessings –
Dianne
