Prayer for the Third Sunday of Easter

Master, Saviour, Shepherd, Messiah - we know you by many names, Lord, Your presence fills our lives— all that we are and all that we have comes from you; All that you do declares your love for us. Yet when trouble comes, when adversity plagues us, we Wonder where you are; we even wonder who you are. Dispel our gloom and despair Spread your table before us and feed us from your hand.

Amen
