*Prayer of the Day (All Together)
There are days, O God, when we feel far from your presence. We long for you, yet we feel no response, no closeness. Give us the strength to cry out in pain, speaking our truth. Give us the courage to complain, even when there is no response. IN the emptiness, we long for your presence. We wait O God, for you. We know that you are the source of all mercy and grace. We trust that you will help us in times of need. Amen
