“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
 
When the world goes mad,
Lord God, you are there.
When we fear for the future,
Lord God, you are there.
When people rage and bring chaos,
Lord God, you are there.
When leadership fails,
Lord God, you are there. 
 
If the mountains shake and the oceans roar,
Still, you are our refuge.
All things are within your control,
And your will is for the good of those who love you.
We cannot know what you know,
But we can trust you always, Lord God,
For you are there.
Blessed be your holy name!
