Lord,
we pass through days and nights
with secret fears and grief,
with worries and problems unknown
to even those who stand right by our side...
So often we just don't know how burdened
are the minds and hearts, the souls
of those who live with us, next door to us,
who work and go to school with us...
But we all know the pain of holding hurt
when others have no way of knowing
what turmoil stirs within our hearts...
Lord, help me be gentle today and understanding
of all whose paths cross mine:
remind me that their burdens are at least as many,
at least as heavy, as the ones I bear myself...
May I be gentle with my neighbors, Lord:
tending others' grief and binding up their wounds
'til restoring one another
make us whole again and healed in you...
Amen.
