Prayer for January 13, 2026

Loving God, may I focus my energies on lifting people up, listening to them fully and treating them as beloved. Help me in the times when I am most challenged to look for the good in others.  Let me seek to be calmer in the times I know I am anxious and be honest with those around me when I have those feelings.  May I work hard to observe the subtle signs around me that I may be missing when I a with someone so that I can be more attentive to them and their needs.  Help me to know when to act and when to do nothing and guide when my direction needs correction.  Amen
