This morning, and all mornings
as we face the day
daunted by expectations others place upon us,
weighed down by burdens, unsure of outcomes,
opposed, alone, afraid;
remind us that you faced all this
and more,

rise above and beyond the troubles of this world,
and know peace, your perfect peace.
And now to the One who has overcome all
we bring our thanks and praise. Amen and Amen.
