Father,

In the midst of the storm, we hold our loved ones a little closer. We are reminded to keep our faith and hope alive in the forefront of our hearts and minds. We will not let the heaviness of what is being released out in the world right now drag us down. We rise above it. We deal with the dark and we stay in the Light, knowing all is happening just as it should. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Through it all, Father, we come to realize that our trials and tribulations are actual exercises in patience and fortitude. We stand the tests of courage and do not waver. We balance all this with Strength in our conviction and a groundedness resulting in careful action. “By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.” (Luke 21:19) This is where we pull from deep down inside and we find our perseverance. Using our best judgment, we shine into the dark. “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” (Luke 8:15)

We will pull from our best within, and will renew our strength through you. We will stay grounded in our faith, as your steadfast lightbearers. Bless our world and may it rise in righteousness. Let justice be done according to your Divine Will and may eternal Truth prevail.

And so it is,

God is Victory,

Amen.
