Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we praise you that whoever we are and wherever we go you are there. We have discovered that there is simply nowhere we can go where you will not be present. We cannot hide, we cannot run, we cannot even be there before you! You are always ahead of us, preparing the way. You are there waiting with arms of love and mercy to hold us and to welcome us; to heal us and to hold us. Lord, you are ever near, ever approachable. In the midst of our anxiety and fear you are always understanding, coming into our turmoil, our doubts, our weakness and despair, and you come with peace. For that we praise you in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
