PRAYER OF THE DAY (UNISON) Holy God, you know us by name. You lead us through times of trial and suffering. Your arms welcome us and provide comfort in our darkest times. We trust you to guide us through times of suffering and despair. Allow us to hear your voice inviting us to walk with you. Remind us that even in times of great uncertainty and insecurity, you make the path safe for us and take the journey with us. This we ask, through Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
