Lord, hear our prayer:

Wonderful and glorious God! We thank you that you fill our hearts with your hope and our lives with a sense of expectation; that you heal our wounds and wipe away our tears; that you excite us with your grace and overwhelm us with your mercy; that in Christ’s life, death and resurrection you have demonstrated your victory over death and despair and given us the assurance that nothing, but nothing, can bring an end to your loving-kindness towards us or separate us from your love. Thank you that you bring us through every time of pain, brokenness and anxiety; that we can speak to others of your love in total confidence of its reality and its power to make all things new. In the name of Christ the Lord.

Amen.
