Prayer for March 13, 2023

At the start of this week, Loving God, may we become more aware of the world around us. Help us to see where our gifts may be best used and the confidence to use them. Give us patience when we are dealing with others, since we do not know what may contributing to their actions or mood. Let us respond to everyone we meet with love, compassion and grace so that our love of you and one another shine forth in all we do. We we ourselves are anxious, help us to release those burdens at the foot of your altar, O God. May your Spirit guide us today and always. Amen
