6/5/25

Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 6/5




If even for only a few minutes, Lord,
    - I'd love to see as you see...

If only for a few moments
I could see into others' souls
    - as you do...

If only I could peer into other hearts
and see as you see:
    through the eyes of your love and mercy,
    the insight of your knowledge and wisdom.
    with your gracious, healing gaze... 

If I could see as you do, Lord:
I'd see the burdens
carried by so many
in their silence...

I'd see the wounds
that bleed the joy
of those whose hope is thin...
I'd see as you see, Lord,
and find you
in my neighbor's face... 
I'd see the reasons
some can't rise 
to meet the day ahead...
I'd see with eyes of patience
and not so quickly
jump to judge... 
         I'd see the fear
         that halts the steps
         so many want to take... 
I'd see with mercy, Lord,
and pardon 
as you pardon me...  
I'd see the turmoil
in the thoughts
of those who can't decide...
I'd see the shame 
so many bear
from harm and from abuse...
I'd see the sorrow hiding,
masked, behind
a laugh or smile...

I'd see in others
what's in me
and learn to see anew...  

I'd see as you see, Lord,
and finally see
how blind I am...
I'd see as you see, Lord,
and see you
everywhere I turn...
Amen.
