Prayer for January 3, 2024

Loving God, help us to see ourselves as you see us. We are our worst critics and we need to step back and see that we are beloved children of God. May we learn to love who we are and know that the challenges and scars we carry show that we are living and attempting to be the best person we can be for ourselves. Help us, as well, to recognize others beauty and let them know how special they are. May we live each day fully and step out in faith to try new things. All this we ask in your name. Amen
