Prayer for America 08/03/05

Help us to put out trust in you, O God. We see that the things of this world do not sustain us. When trouble comes we are like saplings swaying in the wind, and we fear our roots are not strong enough to hold us firm. Let us be rooted in your love and nourished by your constant presence, that we might stand tall even when adversity threatens to tear us apart. As you have been with humanity throughout the eons, stay by us now and help us be worthy of your love and care. Amen.

Great faith is not found; it is made of tiny demonstrations of commitment on a daily basis.
