Holy and gracious God, At times we feel so frail and fragile,  getting blown about by the latest crisis,  by bad news, by our own short tempers and failings.  You call us to hold fast to what is good,  but so often we flounder,
unable to find that solid thing that will center us again.  Help us, we pray.  Help us to see you as our center, and to cling to the good that you create in the world.  Help us to set aside all our jealousies and prejudices,
all of our betrayals and lies,  all that adds to the world’s hurt. Help us to grow even more into Christ’s likeness, that we will bear his love and truth to the world.  We pray in his name.  Amen.
