Oh, Lord, we know that no problem is too big for you to handle, or too small for you to care about. Help us in dealing with these situations. Resolve them in the way that is best for us and those we love. Give us wisdom to guide out thoughts and actions, and faith to sustain us as we wait for the resolution of these problems. Remind us daily of your love and mercy, and forgive us for our sins. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29, NIV)
