Prayer for Wednesday

Lord our God, remind us again and again of what You have done in our hearts and lives to make us certain of the resurrection. Help us to live in this certainty with total confidence and assurance and to hold fast to everything good and great which You bring into our lives. Grant us the assurance that we are gaining ground in the battle for the redemption of those who are still in darkness and in the shadow of death. May we find joy in what You have bestowed upon us in the here and now. Give us patience in our struggles. Give us hope for all that has gone wrong, because even what is in darkness is still in Your hands because we know that all things work together for our good. In the end everything must be brought to the light so that all humankind may glorify Your great and most holy name.

Amen.
