Great prophet and savior of our souls, let us not be surprised at the chaos of the world and the destruction that we wreak upon one another, but grant us faith to trust in you and your sovereignty and goodness as we live amidst a sinful and troubled world, though you who suffered at our hands yet was raised to new life through the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come.’ – Mark 13:7
