Prayer for May 16, 2022

May we live this week in a way that honors those we encounter. Let us treat them as if they were the most important people in our lives and with an unconditional love. May we begin all our interactions treating them as beloved children of God. When we find ourselves getting frustrated, help us to remain calm and know that it is ok to step back and wait to respond in almost every event. Only those moments of emergency need us to respond immediately, so help us when it is time for us to wait for our anxiety to be lessened to reply in love. May our actions be focused on how we express the love that passes all understanding. Amen
