For Goodness and Mercy, Oh Lord, We Pray
Most of all, Lord God, will You help us to let your goodness and mercy inform what we say and do in our day-to-day living?

When it comes to prayer, my fervor ebbs and flows. The book of Psalms offers specific support for those moments as a language for prayer.
“She held his hand like she never wanted to let him go," my husband told me quietly one evening. It was an unusual statement from him and it caused me to think and to pray. “Lord, is that what my husband wants – to know he is so deeply loved that I never want to let him go?”
I have found that times of suffering have led me into a new kind of joy, a deeper intimacy with God as I reach the end of myself.
