Almighty and merciful Lord,
we sing of your goodness, and
we give thanks for your grace.
But still,
we must cry out at times that life is hard.
Yes, there are good times when everything seems to be going well,
but
there are also very difficult times,
when we wonder
what the difference is between
hell and what we are facing.
In such
times, our faith wavers, and our hope wains.
We even doubt your goodness, and we dismiss the possibility of your
grace.
We may hurl our anger toward
you,
or dare to deny that You exist at all.
Yet, in all our turmoil, you remain a merciful God,
and in our anguish you
pour forth the healing remedy of forgiveness.
Immerse us in your soothing grace.
Lift us up with the promises and power of your Spirit,
who heals all our
diseases and makes us whole through Jesus Christ,
in whose great and strong
name we pray. Amen.
