Prayer for December 13, 2025

O God, help us to be as aware of the burdens that others are carrying and to also know that we may never know them.  Let us give others the benefit of the doubt and to treat everyone with dignity.  May we be as quick to apologize as we are to forgive.  May we be empathetic and express compassion when we are uncertain as to how to respond to someone.  May your Spirit guide us in all our interactions and direct us toward treating others with love.  Amen
