Prayer for November 18, 2025

May I be willing, this and every day, to forgive.  Loving God, we interact with so many people every day and we often judge the character or intent of people before we even get to know them.  Help us to be charitable when we meet someone and think the best of what they are bringing to our time together.  May we be the people who make someone’s day better so that even if they started their day with challenges, we made it somehow improved.  When we feel like responding to someone with anger, may our mouths be closed long enough for us to say something supportive and may your Spirit guide our hearts now and always.  Amen
