Prayer for October 19, 2022

Help me, O Lord, when I am at a loss for words. Let me know if that means it is time for me to simply listen and not have answers. If I am to respond may I find the right words for the moment that are loving and comforting. Give me the judgment to know which place I find myself and the willingness to follow your spirit guiding me. Let me go beyond my comfort zone to keep the silence that is sometimes needed when those I love simply need to talk things out without needing me to put on my fixing hat. Instead, let me be fully attentive to the needs of those I love so that they can appreciate just how much I love them. May I become the person to which I am continually attempting to aspire and may your grace abound this and everyday. Amen
