  Speaker 1: It is time for us to go to God in prayer,
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: and as always I ask that you joined me. I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: am Sherry Mackie. You know I see so many people
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: hurting and I just want to pray that we will
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: have compassion. Father, God, in the name of Jesus Christ,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: thank you for being our example of love and compassion. God,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we see so many people who are hurting and beaten
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: down by the cares of life. You are the source
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of all tenderness and truth. We come before you with
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: hearts open and aching, yearning to be vessels of compassion
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in a hurting world. God, let us feel the pain
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of others not as a weight that breaks us, but
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: as a sacred invitation to care and love and show
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: compassion to others. God, where there's sorrow, teach us not
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to turn away, Help us to kneel beside the grieving,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to hold the trembling hand of the weary, and to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: whisper peace when worlds fall apart in words, fall short. Lord,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: break down the walls that even we've built in fear,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: those quiet defenses that keep us from seeing the stranger
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: as our sister or our brother, the enemy as our teacher,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the wounded as Holy, Oh God, give us eyes that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: seek understanding and not judgment. Give us ears God that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: listen without interruption, a mouth that speaks kindness even when
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: anger tempts to wound or to fight back. God, if
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we got to be strong, let it be in our gentleness.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: If we've got us speak truth, God, let it be
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: lace with mercy and love. If we've got to act,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: let it be our hands laid by love and not
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: pride and ego. May compassion our first language, flouid, full
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and fearless. Let it rise in us like a tide
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that washes away indifference and heals the broken. God, for
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: every soul we pass today, the joyful, the loss, the silent,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the loud, let us remember they too carry burdens, burdens
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we can't see. Let us greet them, God, not with suspicion,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but with the quiet dignity of shared humanity. God, in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the world so quick to divide, make us a bridge
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and a time so rich and noise. God, make us
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a still place of refuge for others. God, we surrender
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: our own egos, our own assumptions, our own uncertainties, that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: something greater can rise in us. God, let compassion, Let
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: your love, let your light shine in us, through us,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: every day.
