Prayer through the Father's Eyes

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cuts us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner,help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with the fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, dear Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day is a slave to addictions that we can imagine only in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the elderly couple walking annoying slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year to go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are close to us, but to all humanity.Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy, and love.
