O Lord God, we thank you that in our times we may feel and see that you are at work. This is a joy and comfort to us and we take heart. We find joy again because you are at work. You are carrying out your will, which includes your plan for our life and salvation. Grant that fruits may appear in our times, for our times are in your hands. Grant that many people from all nations may come to you. May they turn to you in their need and know the happiness of receiving your help. May your name be honoured, your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.
