As we read in Ecclesiastes there is a time for everything.
There is a time to weep , a time to laugh,
a time to mourn, a time to dance and so on.
Our time, Lord, is certainly a difficult time.
There is the worldwide pandemic,
old injustices are being highlighted and demanding redress,
many are suffering economic stress and other fears.
But I trust that truth will spring out of the earth
and your justice look down from heaven.
Despite it all, give me confidence in your constant care.
