Dear Father of mankind, make me the human channel, so far as in me lies, through which Thy divine love and pity may reach he hearts and lives of a few of those who are nearest to me.
Lord, today I would remember before Thee all my human brothers and sisters who need Thy help. Especially this morning I think
of those who are faced by great temptations;
of those who are faced by tasks too great for their powers;
of those who stand in any valley of decision;
of those who are in debt or poverty;
of those who are suffering the consequences of misdeeds long ago repented of;
of those who, by reason of early surroundings, have never had a fair chance in life;
of all the family circles broken by death;
of all missionaries of the Kingdom of Heaven in faraway corners of the earth;
of those who lift high the lamp of truth in lonely places;
of....and.....and....and.
Hear our prayer dear Father, Hear our prayer. We love you. Amen
