Reflection

“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” –Isaiah 66:13

Prayer

Tender God,

Many people will wake up today with the very same pressures and fears and anxieties they tried to put far behind them, as they went to sleep last night. The struggles among us are deep and there are worries that never seem to let up. For all those today in need of special support, we pray for them and ask you to fill them with comfort. Send us to fill them, whoever they are, with your care and concern, that we might love and support one another in mind, body, and spirit. Amen.

Call to Action

Who do I know who needs a tender word or a gesture of comfort today? Be willing to extend them a compassionate sign of concern.
