As we grieve deaths from violence born from hatred, may we pray for peace and justice.

As we do our daily tasks, weary from the heavy lifting of a pandemic, may we feel your peace.

As we look forward to the promise of spring, may we carry with us the hope of the resurrection.

Renew our strength, O God, and lift us up during these weary days.
