I was at a meeting the other day and picked up a brochure for the Pastoral Care dept. at Children's. This prayer was on the back of it and it really touched me.
Tender and compassionate God, you are our steadfast companion in the joyous and difficult times of our lives. When we rejoice, you celebrate with us; when we are anxious and afraid, you offer a relationship where we can find courage to face the unknown; when we weep with sadness, you are our comforter. Help us, O God, to believe that you receive us as we are, and help us to entrust ourselves, with all our many struggles and hopes, to your faithful and abiding care. Amen.
