Not less we praise in darker days.

Like the giant cottonwood tree whose sound shimmers in the breeze, let everyone hear your soft voice and be blessed by you.

Dear God, limitless is Your love. Unending is Your grace. Abundant is Your mercy. Constant is Your protection, Generous is Your forgiveness. Awestruck in
Your Presence. Amen

Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of God's hands. Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they
reveal knowledge. They use no words, no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their message to the ends of the world.

I see no future and am tired of the anguish I am going through; all the problems humanity faces and man’s inability to address them, I just want it all to end.
