Our 22-year old son shared this prayer with us yesterday. It was given to him at St. Anthony’s Hospital where he serves in the emergency room as a critical care tech.

Lord, some days, serving others
Seems especially challenging.
Thank you for reminding me today
That when I serve others
I am more than just Your hands and feet,
I am a mirror of Your Love . . .

Help me to seek understanding
Of their point of view,
So I may reflect your personal interests
In each of us . . .

Help me to have a grateful heart,
So I may reflect how great are
Your gifts to us . . .

Help me to listen in stillness,
So I may reflect Your compassion and care for us.

Help me to have a giving spirit,
So I may reflect Your abundant generosity.

Lord, thank you for reminding me today
That I serve others because you placed me here to serve,
That I am Your hands and feet
Because I chose to serve,
And that I am a mirror of Your Love
Because you first Loved me.
