Still Our Troubled Minds

Lord of the universe, we get so caught up in the bad news we see every day, that we begin to despair.  Still our troubled minds with the soothing power of your Spirit.  Give us insight to see beyond the news of this world, to the good news from Christ who assured us that he has over come the world.  Let your light shine in and through us, chasing the darkness away and showing us the path you have chosen for us.  Help us to remember the we have nothing to fear because you walk beside us every step of our lives.   Praise be to you, our gracious God.  In Jesus Name we pary.  Amen,
