Today's Prayer

seal

Whenever I am downcast, O Lord, help me to remember the people I have enjoyed and loved. I hope I neither forget them when they are gone, nor take them for granted while they are alive. Those who have means so much to me, may I mean increasingly more to them. Bind us together, O Lord, in such a way that our lives may share the glory and the pain that comes to each of us, and grant that as I walk in the strength of the ones who are stronger than I, I may also suffer for the sake of the ones who are weaker than I. Amen.
