God most high and holy, all things are in your hands. Your holy Word invites us to trust in you and to be fearless even when the earth gives way.

When the mountains fall into the sea, when the waters roar and foam, when nations are in an uproar, and even in the valley of the shadow of death.

With your unlimited power, with your boundless presence, with your knowledge of all things, fill our hearts with your peace that surpasses understanding.

Fill us with faith in you, with desires to serve our neighbors in love, and to be strong and take heart as we wait for you to work your good purpose for the good of those who love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
