Prayer for the Twenty Third Week After Pentecost

God Almighty,

We come to you and give thanks for your goodness and mercy.

You have watched over your people,
through times of abundance and times of persecution,
through times of rejoicing and times of hardship,
and through times of praise and times of lament.

You are present with us in all things, and we look to you
for salvation and renewal.

Amen
