A Prayer for those who are suffering...
I just wanted to wish all the mom's here a Happy Mother's Day.
Whether your day is joyous or sad, know that we're here for each other.
That kinda makes it better, easier to cope. I love you all and wanted to share this prayer I found and say often. I hope it lifts your heart.
Gracious God, all around me people are suffering.
When I turn away from my own problems, I feel sorrow for the problems of others. Through the news, the media, and my conversations, I am daily confronted with the pain and suffering of so many innocent people in my life and in the world.
Suffering seems to eagerly eat at the edges of life until people are worn down with sadness and despair. Even though I do not understand the reasons for suffering, I believe that you are a God of love, a God of compassion.
I pray that you will be with all those this day that are in pain, who suffer silently and alone, who feel abandoned and left by the side of life’s road.
Wrap your arms of grace around them, until they know they are safely held in your embrace. And, I pray, that you will fill my heart with the same compassion, and give me eyes to see how I can lovingly be a part of their healing.
I ask this for the sake of your great love. Amen.
