a prayer for kindness

Most great and most high God,

You over all things. Your power is unmatchable! Your love is the most gracious, your strength is above all, and your peace the most comforting. We thank you for being a God we can trust, knowing you keep all your promises, and that your love for your children is never-ending.

Father, in a time when we hurt, in a time in which we are hurt, we pray for kindness. We ask for your spirit of gentleness come upon our hearts and we seek to be kind to all people, even those who've hurt us. Hold our tongues, O God, if any word is less than kind. Soften our hearts, O God, when they harden against those unkind to us and to other. Check our mind, O God, when we desire to judge rather than listen and hear.

Lord God, bring us back to your Word. May we believe and live out the truth of your gospel to the world. Help us to lean into this calling, no matter how challenging. For you, O God, are Jehovah-jirah, the one who provides. Help us to believe that you will provide in all difficult circumstances because of your great love for us.

Amen
