Ever present God, may we see you in the eyes of those we meet today. Help us to do those things we know to be right and to avoid doing those things that we know to be wrong. Let us not be rushed into making convenient choices when being patient or enduring something challenging will take us to a better outcome. Let us put the needs of others over our petty desires that often are at odds with what we know we can and should do. Help us to show our love for you, O God in all that we do this and every day. Amen
