Holy God,
This morning, someone in this world is weeping for joy, filled with wonder at some glorious surprise. They might be filling a room with laughter alone or sharing their joy with a crowd of friends and strangers.
At the same time, perhaps not too far away, someone is weeping, filled with misery and pain and wondering whether or not there is any hope for them. They may well be deep in sorrow on their own, or they could be surrounded by fellow mourners.
In between, there are billions, bouncing from joy to pain and back again, sometimes in the course of a day, often in the course of pockets of time much smaller than that.
We are a volatile people, often caught in circumstances and events much bigger than ourselves. May your Holy Spirit remind us, and may our lives be a reminder to one another, that in joy and pain, you are present, and that there is always hope in you, even beyond the veil.
Amen
