Here’s
a prayer from the Jesuit Prayer Team.
Prayer
(inspired by Jeremiah
18: 1-11, Romans 8:28)
Lord,
nothing is for naught before your eyes.
Should
great difficulty come upon us,
we
believe that blessings will eventually come
from
the apparent ruins of our lives.
When
we look back on the hardships of life,
we
marvel how unexpected good has come
from
such apparent setbacks and disappointments.
Lord,
remove any heaviness of heart that might weigh upon us today
and
deepen within us the assurance that ultimately all will be well
because
you are God.
