A Prayer for Saturday, July 21, 2012

Care

Help us to care, O God.

Help us to care about the earth;
help us to care about the community;
help us to care about the neighbor;
help us care about the other;
help us to care about the hungry;
help us to care about the poor;
help us to care about the homeless;
help us to care about the lost;
help us to care about the marginalized;
help us to care about the lonely; and
help us to care about the sick.

Help us to care, O God.

Help us to care in ways that will lead us to do what we can do and to join together with others in doing what we can do.

Help us not to care in ways that fill us with despair that causes us to give up or to do nothing.

Help us not to care in ways that cause us to give and give of ourselves without taking the time to replenish our souls.

But God, please help us to care.

Amen.
