Today I pray

Dear Heavenly Father, There are times when I don't know how to pray. Most recently it has been for those who are homeless and hungry. It seems I should be more about action than words. Rather than asking for you to intercede, I should be doing something.

So with this in mind I ask you to give me wisdom and direction in how I can best serve this segment of our community. In serving meals with my fellow church members I have seen their faces but I do not know their hearts. Allow me to be more open and accepting of them.

Whenever I am asked to offer the mealtime prayer for them I struggle to come up with the right words. Open my heart to allow you to speak through me. Help me to identify their needs and where I may be a blessing to them. These things I ask in the one who gave us the most precious gift, Jesus Christ. Amen
