Pastoral Prayer for September 29, 2024

Today our pastoral prayer come to us from David Friedman.

Please allow his words to become your own.

WE CAN BE KIND

So many things we can’t control

So many hurts that happen every day

So many heartaches that pierce the soul

So much pain that won’t ever go away

How do we make it better?

How do we make it through?

What can we do when there’s nothing we can do?

We can be Kind

We can take care of each other

We can remember that deep down inside

we all need the same thing

And maybe we’ll find

If we are there for each other

That together we’ll weather whatever tomorrow may bring

Nobody really wants a fight

Nobody really wants to go to war

Everyone wants to make things right

So what are we always fighting for?

Does nobody want to see it?

Does nobody understand?

The power to heal is right here in our hand.

We can be Kind

We can take care of each other

We can remember that deep down inside

we all need the same thing

And maybe we’ll find

If we are there for each other

That together we’ll weather whatever tomorrow may bring.

Amen.
