Weekly Reading
For weekly Reading this week go to
“Compassion is to look beyond your own pain, to see the pain of others.” – Yasmin Mogahed
Lord, give me a heart that feels the pain of others. Teach me to listen without judgment and to comfort without hesitation. Fill me with Your Spirit of empathy so I can love deeply and sincerely. Help me share in others’ burdens and celebrate their joys. Let my compassion reflect Your kindness in every interaction. Make me a true friend to the hurting. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We Pray for...
We invite you to pray for, just say their name, pause, and pray Lord in your mercy hear this prayer.
