Lord,
today I want to pray for all the beautiful people in my life
and you know better than I, Lord,
how many they are!
They've shared with me their suffering and defeats,
their struggles and losses
- and how they've found their way
(or are trying to find their way)
out of the depths of their difficulties...
All this has worn on them, Lord,
but has only served to make them more beautiful,
possessed of an appreciation for,
a sensitivity towards
and an understanding of
life,
filling them
with compassion, gentleness
and deep loving concern for others...
Beautiful people don't just "happen," Lord,
they are made beautiful by all they have
carried, endured and suffered...
I pray for all these beautiful people, Lord:
help them see the beauty that is theirs,
a beauty they're often blind to,
and be their guide as they make their way
out of the depths of their difficulties
to the beauty of the peace that is yours
in you...
Amen.
