Inclusive prayers to provide hope, inspiration and positivity all week long
Dear God,
As I look around this morning at everything you've created and gifted us in this world, I realize that all of it matters. To pause and appreciate everything in front of me is a reminder of what it feels like to be fully human. Help me to feel alive and value every waking moment.
Amen.
Dear God,
In this world filled with noise and pain, help my heart and mind to find peace and quiet. From that rest, give me the strength to stamp out hate and usher in healing. Remind me to put down the weight of aloneness whenever it arrives and see the bravery within me.
Amen.
Dear God,
People around us are hurting and struggling. We can see it and we can feel it. Maybe we are even hurting inside ourselves. Please help us find a way to listen to one another, nurture one another, and recognize that our individual suffering leads to collective suffering. Help us heal together.
Amen.
Dear God,
Please help me feel the full weight of my emotions and not be afraid of them. Allow me to embrace the good, the bad, the highs and the lows that life presents and appreciate the lessons learned along the way.
Amen.
Dear God,
May I embrace this new week with possibility. May I see it as a new beginning and a chance to rise again.
Amen.
Dear God,
Thank you for the holiness that’s all around me. You’ve created so many things that are worthy of being celebrated. May we all slow down and appreciate them for what they are.
Amen.
Dear God,
Allow me to have an appreciation for the different seasons of my life. Some were only meant for a while, but others may be worth revisiting. May I always keep an open mind to the people, passions, and dreams I’ve encountered along the way.
Amen.
Dear God,
Help me remain ready for the unexpected. In these tumultuous times, help me remain calm and open to receiving whatever comes my way with peace and intention.
Amen.
Dear God,
May we all be gentle with each other at this time. While joy and merriment may be in the air, there are also emotions and suffering hiding beneath the surface. Let us check in with those we love and hold space with them through the end of this year and into the next.
Amen.
Dear God,
In a world that is inundated with updates and new trends, help me to minimize my distractions and lean into my purpose. Show me how to be a credit to myself, my family, and my country. Allow me the space to be a beautiful part of moving humanity forward.
Amen.
