Prayer for October 18, 2021

Loving God, there are so many people who are suffering silently.  We walk by so many of them unaware of all the burdens they are carrying.  Help them to find peace and healing.  May we be vessels of presence to them and give them the love which you call us to provide. May those whose occupation forces them to be in stress, especially those who have been working to care for those affected by COVID, know that we are grateful for their efforts.  May we find ways to lift people up and love unconditionally.  Amen
