Psalm 26:1-3, 13-14. R. v.1
Ours is a troubled world. 

Everyday seems to bring news of war, injustice and poverty. 

I confess I am sometimes tempted to switch off, for fear of being overwhelmed. 

But when I scratch beneath the surface, I am often surprised – and inspired – by the resilience and strength of our global neighbours.

Pray

God of life, help us never to lose hope that you are with us, even in the darkest moments of our lives. Amen.
