Heavenly Father, Our Creator,

The times we are living in are hard to be a part of. We see many people that are suffering, including our own lives and people we love. It can be so very hard to see beauty in these times, but it is still there. You, oh Lord, are the creator of all creation, of every tongue and nation and you weave beauty into every situation good or bad. The darker threads are the dark times when we can’t see a light, the lighter and brighter threads are the times we see your blessings and mercies.

These two threads must be woven together, or we cannot see the whole beautiful picture. The contrast of the good and bad times must be apparent in order that there be beauty in the finished work. Help us, Lord to see the full picture, the gorgeous tapestry you are weaving of our tumultuous season in life. Help us to see Your hope.

In Your Name We Pray, Amen
