prayer for humility and peace

With everything going on, it’s really a blessing to still be able to do what we’re doing so in thinking about this Pandemic, it reminds me to reflect on the blessings and to pray for HUMILITY AND PEACE.

I say HUMILITY because what we’re seeing today are families hurting, people getting into a financial crisis, people not knowing what to do or what’s coming and so much more. That could be one of us and this is why I chose to pray about Humility.  We can’t take anything for granted and even though this too shall pass, we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. I remember hearing years ago on a retreat a priest saying “it’s never wise to get too comfortable and always be ready for the uncomfortable. I took that serious because we’re not in control and God has a plan.

I say PEACE because it’s really crazy and in order for us to get through any of this, we have to know where to go to get strength and comfort.  Peace doesn’t come from anyone else but God and we all need it so in saying that – Let us pray:
 
Dear Lord

Thank You for all that You do each and every day for us and our families.  Thank You for Your Grace, Your love and Your Divine Mercy even through the crisis.

Lord we see a lot going on right now but through all of this, we know that You’re in the midst of it all.

Lord, please continue to guide us and show us how to be more HUMBLE today, especially today, so that we can learn to not take things for granted but learn to be a vessel for you to build the Body of Christ.

Lord You know through all of this, we need peace because we hear so much negative things on the news and it’s impacting us all.  We don’t know what tomorrow may bring so in not knowing and practicing our faith, please teach us how to have PEACE even in this most difficult time.

Lord, we thank You for all things and in Jesus name we pray. Amen and Amen
