God of all peoples,
We are filled with anxiety at the uncertainty. The shock and pain of the past inform our now. We yearn for peace, joy, hope, and compassion while worrying that power, greed, and disregard will carry the day. Give us peace. Calm our spirits in the midst of uncertainty and chaos. Give us strength and benevolent guidance whatever happens in the next seven (or more) days. We trust in you. We commit to following your teachings no matter what. We will love, strive for justice, and hope for a better day. Always and forever.
Amen.
