For Us: A Prayer for These Days


God of abundant life, be present. Make us known to your presence. Let us remember how Jesus welcomed the child to sit in his lap and said, "Do to the least of these and you will be doing unto the One who sent me." In every moment we are the child and the doer. Give us the compassion to hear our friends. And give us the clarity to ask for strength. Make us known to those who are experiencing stress. And make us humble enough to share our heavy hearts. Whether in thought, prayer, or deed, guide us in grace, and grant us wisdom. Because of Jesus Christ made known through the Holy Spirit, we are sustained and redeemed in everlasting love. Amen.

Because in every moment we are the child and the doer,
