A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, August 7th

Good Morning, God,

Good God, who is our ideal for both love and justice, we ask for your guidance to be like you.

Compassionate God, you love us unconditionally as your creations, despite what we do to displease you, despite the number of times we fail to love you and others as you have loved us. Lord, we classify people into those who are like us and those who are different from us-and we love the like ones and at the very least, try to ignore the different ones. Help us change our eyesight, Lord, so we can see others as you see us all.

Also, Lord, not only do we ask for help to see others as you see us all, but we asked for help in our actions. Only seeing is not enough; we want to put into practice helping others to be fully accepted, fully appreciated, and fully having their gifts and skills utilized. Lord, may we see, utilize and encourage the great potential of all your creation, while loving all as you love us.

In Jesus name, Amen.
