O God of the Resurrection, you have power over life and death, over darkness and light. Come from the four winds today and disperse the shadow of death over this land. Renew and strengthen our spirits O God that we may confront the scourge of death and darkness that is before us. May the faith of all of us who believe in you be enough to cause an end to the carnage on our roads and the murders that abound. May we who see this new day be ever thankful for the gift of life, and do everything we can do to glorify you through our lives. Guard, guide and govern our days until the end O God, and at our last breath, bring us safely home to you, the God of our salvation.
