Daily Reflections
Prayer
Gracious God, we know it is all too easy to take others for granted. As time passes, we can begin to see the extraordinary as ordinary, as normal. Help us to not take others for granted, especially those who sacrifice daily that we might be healthy and safe. Stir within us a spirit of gratitude and develop within us hearts that appreciate the goodness and love of others. Amen.
Prayer
God of beauty, in the midst of the stresses and strains of life, it can be difficult to remember to appreciate the beauty of life, the beauty of the world, the beauty of others. Fill our hearts with gratitude this day for the many wonders with which you populate the earth and our lives. Help us to never take your beauty for granted. May we always recognize your light even in the midst of darkness. We pray as we live, in your name. Amen.
Prayer
God of goodness and justice, though we are passing through a dark valley in our history, we trust in your presence and goodness. Help us to be particularly mindful of all those who work each day to keep us safe and secure. In a special way, we pray for the women and men of Bon Secours Mercy Health who risk their lives daily to create a safer and healthier world. Hear us as we call to you and walk with us as we continue along this challenging path. We pray in your name. Amen.
