Today I pray

Dear God, There are many in this world who live everyday in poverty and despair. Help us to seek out ways to assist them in their struggles and to be willing to take action in improving their circumstances.

You have given us the gifts and tools to make a difference in the world. While we may not be able to fix the large problems give us the wisdom and ability to fix our own little corner.

Allow us to be hope to the hopeless. Teach us to be tolerant of those with whom we may not agree and willing to serve together for the common good. You have called each of us to live with the heart of a servant. Give us the courage to do the work you have called us to do. All of this in the name of Jesus. Amen
