A Prayer For Today

While walking the fine line of life I found this prayer helpful as I turn to God for help. We turn to you, O God, asking for hope amidst uncertainty, Mercy for the sick, the suffering, And the scared, Communal closeness in the absence of physical presence, Energy to persevere when tired of adapting, Perspective, so we might remember that we have so much for which to be grateful, Compassion for ourselves when we catch ourselves wallowing in self pity, Kindness to others when they handle uncertainty badly, A sense of humor when it’s we who are handling uncertainty badly, A productive and focused meeting in an unfamiliar format, And gratitude for colleagues *(each other), with whom we are in this together. For these things, O God, we pray. Amen ~Sarah B Drummond~ *My addition.
