A prayer for today

God,

For what I have today,
I give you thanks

For who I am today,
I give you thanks

For where I am today,
I give you thanks

For those who care about me today,
I give you thanks.

Lord,

Give me the grace and the mercy I need
to live graciously today.
Help me love the unloveable;
Give to those who are selfish
and forgive those who will never
forgive me
Give me the eyes to see that
I can be unlovable, selfish, and unforgiving at times
but you won't give up on me.

God,

Help those of us who claim you as our God
sow the seeds of peace,
love,
forgivness,
justice,
and hope

Let our joy be found in working for your kingdom
and in knowing you as you know us
Let us love,
as you have loved us.

Today, let this be my prayer,

- Amen
