God of truth, you give courage to those who trust you. In hope we pray:
Teach us your ways, O God.
Support our efforts to be honest in all our works and loving in all our deeds.
Teach us your ways, O God.
Uphold parents, and help them to reflect the love of Christ to their children.
Teach us your ways, O God.
Strengthen the bonds of trust and love between engaged and married couples.
Teach us your ways, O God.
Our Father . . .
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
