PRAYER
Lord God, you have created us to live in community. We are grateful for this because we need one another, but we confess that our compassion and hospitality are pitiful. We need your eyes to see. Forgive us and teach us to love one another as you have loved us. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
