Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we praise you for your promise to be with us always, even to the end and beyond. We praise you for those times when we have been lost and alone, when we have been uncertain and afraid, when we have felt imprisoned and filled with despair and you have come to us. You have come when we most needed your presence and when we least expected it. You have come and given us new hope, peace and joy. You have not promised that you will always remove every problem or take away every pain. But you have promised to be with us and to share our journey of life and faith, and for this we praise you.

Amen.
