God,
you promise never to forsake us,
but
to bring us to life,
nurture
us with your presence,
and
sustain us even in the hour of our death.
Meet
us in our deepest doubts
when
we feel abandoned,
drowning
in our fear of your absence.
Visit
us in the tension between our yearning and our anger,
that
we may know your mercy and grace in our time of need. Amen.
