Prayer for October 17, 2022

For many, Loving God, this is the beginning of an extremely busy week that will be filled with anxious moments and times of stress. Be with all of us as we encounter this week and help us to see the wonderful things that are happening around us and to accept that sometimes the stressful times are what can create some of the most beautiful moments. Give us patience in those times when we want to respond angrily and help us to work to show the love and compassion to which we have been called. May we look back on this week and feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for all that we have done. May your spirit guide us this and every day. Amen
