Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” (Psalm 10:1). Lord, cultivate in us a stubborn hope which carries on regardless of our understanding, capability, and faith. Work through us, O Lord, in these dark times. Lord in your mercy... hear our prayer Visit our website to continue reading the Wave of Prayer. |
