​PRAYER Our gracious God, when we despair and are broken help us to turn to you and find our refuge and help. Amen
PRAYER O God of truth, we trust your Word because you are faithful, help us to put our hope in you, and may you give us the hope which is yours alone to give. We especially pray for those who because of their abusive relationships feel helpless and hopeless that they will hope in you. Amen
