This new day is just beginning and I pray for all who have busy, anxiety filled expectations of this week. May it be far better than they are imagining. Help them to find peace when the world around them seems to be trying to attack them from all sides. Let them know when to step back and take a breather. May your spirit fill them when they want to respond to attacks with more force to respond with love instead. May all of us do our best to relieve the anxiety of those around us by being loving, civil and compassionate to a world that desperately needs it. All this we ask in the name of the God of Peace. Amen
