God says, “In distress you called, and I rescued you.” Psalm 81:7
A leper came to Jesus begging him, and kneeling he said to him, “If you choose, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. Mark 1:40–42
God, in your mercy you hear us. Calm our anxious hearts. From your hand we receive peace. Amen.
