Prayer of thanks for God's unending faithfulness

Incarnate God, thank you.
In the hardest of times, you are here.
When we are alone, afraid or sad,
Confused, ashamed or hurt, you are here.
You are with us. You are here. You are.
For your love is always present: stronger than a mighty wind yet gentler than a dove.
You urge, lead and protect us.
You know, embrace and nurture us.
Searching God,
If we turn away or close the door, you will never abandon us.
Our past, future and present are in your keeping.
You are nearer than our own beating hearts and closer than our breath.
You call us by our name and we rejoice that we are held in your love. Amen

Darren Garfield, Deputy Chair, Bolton and Rochdale District
