Today's Prayer: Jesus, the one who’s gaze never waivers from those that you care for. Today, right where I am, give me eyes to see those around me, right where they are. In their loneliness or brokenness, in their hiding or their shame. Let me love those who are longing to be known, and know those who are longing to be loved. You are a God who notices - the small victories and the deepest of pain. We pray that we would become more devoted to your teaching - To rejoice with those who rejoice, and to weep with those that weep. Teach us more deeply how to dignify others with our presence and our personal attention. Jesus, you never seemed to be in a hurry. You stopped and called people by name. You took the long way around. You lingered. You inquired. You asked questions you no doubt already knew the answer to. Tune our hearts to be like yours - on the lookout for those that need to feel the simple hope of companionship today. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.
