Prayer, day 839

Mother and Child by Renoir

O God, we are your children: Let us always trust in You.
O God, we are your children: Let us take You by the hand as we learn to walk in your pathways.
O God, we are your children: Let us burrow into your embrace in our sorrows and hurts.
O God, we are your children: Let us be fed by your Word and your Truth so that we may always follow in your shadow.
O God, we are your children: Let us rejoice in your Love that never fails and forgives us abundantly so that we may be guided to try to do the same.
O God, we are your children: Help us to plant compassion in our hearts.

Help us to comfort and aid these for whom we pray this day, who are your children too.

Amen.
