Sermon Text: Ruth 3:1-6, 4:13-17
That we may see You working through the trials and tragedies of our lives
God of all, we rejoice in You. We rejoice that You are often working in unseen ways behind the trials and tragedies of our lives in order to bring blessing and joy.
You have created friendships when we had lost those who were most significant to us.
You have created new homes for us when we were exiled or forced to migrate in order to escape danger or receive our daily bread.
You have surrounded us with generous people who have watched over and guarded us in the midst of our struggles.
When we perceive that You have made our lives bitter, You act in new ways to set our hearts rejoicing.
We rejoice in your life-giving ability and in your many gifts. We receive them with gladness, and join your people in praise. Amen.
