A prayer you might like to use as you pray for the people of Union Road and anyone you know who is finding life difficult:
A prayer of hope inspired by Teresa of Ávila:
Heavenly Father, You are the source of all hope and comfort. In times of darkness and despair, Your light shines brightly to guide our way.
Grant the people of Union Road the courage to trust in Your promises, even when their hearts are heavy. Fill them with Your peace, that we may find comfort in Your love.
May their hope be rooted in You, an unwavering anchor in the storms of life. Help them to beauty and goodness even in the midst of suffering.
We thank You for Your constant presence, and for the gift of eternal hope. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
