Prayer of the Day: You are there

You are there, O God, when a baby cries. You are there, O God, when someone dies. You are there when they love and do your will -- You are there when they fight and hate and kill. You are there and you love them, though they do not care though they laugh at and mock you, you are always there. You are there in the darkness, in the light you are here, your presence brings hope - so why should we fear? Adapted from a poem by Fr Roger Lesser
