Opportunities

O God,

Thank you for the opportunities that
will present themselves to us this week.

Help us to take good advantage of them.

When we have the opportunity

to give of ourselves
for the sake of others,

to forgive someone
for a wrong done to us,

to listen to someone
with a story to tell,

to accept someone with the same
openness we’d like to receive,

to help someone who
has fallen to get up,

and

to broaden our experience,
grow our spirits, and
expand our minds,

help us not to let the opportunity slip by.

Help us instead to embrace it fully.

Thank you for the opportunities that
will present themselves to us this week.

Help us to take good advantage of them . . .

Amen.
