Today in our prayers, we remember the people of Eritrea.

Dear God,

At times bright sunshine and blue skies fill our lives with gratitude and wonder.

At times, dark clouds and blustery winds, with deep worrying moments, threaten our stability.

During the joyful moments of expansive wanderings and the cloudy sorrows, help us be mindful of your love.

Comfort now those who are sad and anxious and grieving.

Surround all here and all those in our minds with a tangible expression and awareness of hope, peace, and healing.

May Christ’s presence infuse our souls.

Amen.
