God, I am praying for all of us who suffer from our human condition. We really don't know what we are doing, and we are all broken or lost or depressed in one way or another. Grant us your mercy and grace, and give courage to those of us who are stuck and afraid. Help us to let go and let you take control, and send us a friend in whom we can trust in these strange days, in these dark hours. In your name, your son's name, in the name of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
