My heart hurts thinking of all the people in harm's way. Where do these people like you and me get their strength to go on? I know I think where is God in all of this and like Marilyn said, “he is with the Ukraine people giving them strength to go on.” I felt the Collect for today is a perfect one to reflect on: O God, you know us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: Grant us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers, and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. During this Lenten season, I am focusing on the good in the world and praying for the Ukrainian people, and urging everyone to hold them in your daily prayers. Comments are closed.
