Dear God,

There are millions who are hurting from famine, violence, public policy decisions, estrangement, sickness and so much more.  So much could be done to change the environment and help people.  So much.  We could become family to our neighbors sharing a kind word, a meal and affirmation.  We could fight to bring liberation and freedom to so many.  We could lay down our weapons of words, hatred and vitriol.  We could love our neighbor as ourself.  O God, so many could be helped.

How do we break the desire for power and greed?  How do we return to love, hope and faith?  How do we lift up instead of tear down?

Holy God,

all are

your children.

All need

your help

and ours.

Open our hearts.

Rid us

of all

that harms

our neighbor

near and far.

Let love flow

to every person,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
