Help me meet people right where they are, Lord:
not where I wish they were,
not where I think they should be,
not where I want them to be,
but simply where they are...
Help me meet others as you do, Lord:
with an open heart,
with the gift of mercy,
with a desire to help and heal...
Lord, help me meet people
as I'd have them meet me:
with a warm welcome,
an open mind,
with compassion and understanding...
And help me welcome others, Lord,
with a willing generous spirit,
yielding my time in their favor,
serving their needs, not my own...
So, meet me where I am, Lord,
with your kind and gentle mercy,
helping me encounter others
with the blessings I've received...
Amen.
