A Prayer for When Stress Makes Us Forget the Good
Loving God,
sometimes the stress we carry
makes it hard to notice
all the good still around us.
Help us remember
the people who love us,
and the many strangers
whose work makes our lives better.
Help us remain open
to the beauty of creation,
and to the wonder
of all that human beings
are still capable of making together.
For whatever measure
of health and strength we enjoy,
and for sound minds,
let us give thanks.
For the opportunity
to learn and grow,
and for the opportunity
to make a difference,
let us rejoice.
As the Psalmist calls us:
“Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with loud songs of joy.”
— from Psalm 47:1
This is our prayer,
and we pray it in your name.
Amen.
