Loving God,
We walk through life knowing the world holds illness, loss and struggle. Yet when those shadows touch our own circle, we feel the tremor of our own mortality and the fear of meaning slipping away. Suffering is not just pain but the unravelling of our story. Be with us as we stand beside one another in these unraveled places. May our presence, honesty and love be threads of hope that begin weaving meaning back together.
Amen.
