Eternal God, Our Father, the source of all goodness and compassion, we confess our blindness in the presence of the world's great need, our deafness to the cries of our fellow man for understanding and love, our hardness of heart which chokes the springs of action.
We pray this day for the quickening of the Spirit which will give us hearts that divine, that understand, and hands which, like Thy hands, are stretched out to bring healing and wholeness to all people within our reach.
Enable us to work through doubt and fear, to recognize our rationalizations and to separate the mind of Christ from the reasoning of the world. Save us, we pray, from loss of nerve as we contemplate the size of the task before us, and help us to remember the Kingdom which is like a mustard seed and the reward of the cup of cold water given because we belong to him. We pray in His all prevailing name. Amen
