A hope that endures

Here’s another short and simple prayer from my book The Little Book of Lent Prayers. It reminds us, at this time of so much uncertainty and turmoil, that in God we have a hope that endures; that though the storm comes and everything seems to collapse around us, his love never changes, and will not fail.

Thank you, Lord, that though so much is fleeting –
here today and gone tomorrow –
your love stands for ever,
enduring the test of time.
Teach me, then, to build wisely,
founding my life on you.
Amen.
