A GLIMMER OF HOPE

LAMENTATIONS 3: 22-23

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.’

We come, Lord,
In this hour of darkness
knowing that you will strengthen and comfort us.
We come, Lord,
knowing that you stand beside us, around us, in us.
We come, Lord,
knowing that you will never desert us, not now, not ever.
But for now, Lord,
like Jeremiah we sit among the ashes and weep.
We are in torment.
Our hearts are broken.
We are bereft.
For now, Lord,
all seems lost
we remain in the dark
oblivious to a new day dawning.
For now, Lord,
our eyes are filled with tears
we cry out in pain
And are without hope.
For now, Lord, carry us                          
we are your people
you are our strength
we give thanks that your power, your fairness, your faithfulness will restore us.
Evermore.
Amen
