Prayer Gracious God, You are the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You are the God of Israel. You have created us as individuals and called us into community. We thank and praise you for the gift of relationship, brothers and sisters to laugh with, fellow weepers, sojourners to travel in and on the way of life. Even as we ask forgiveness for the times we fail to see, hear, and feel our companions in creation. Oftentimes when we do see, hear and feel those who surround us, we find that we are prone to gravitate towards those who are like us—fun, filled, well, and happy. Many times we leave those who are sick, hungry, tired, lonely, and injured as they are. After all, we are busy and the sick, hungry, tired, lonely, and injured are bothersome. Forgive us. Help us to remember that You created and create us; bore and bear us; sustained and sustain us. Strengthen us that we may go and do likewise. So that we may bear one another, and in that way fulfill the law of Christ. Let us find our joy in bearing one another burdens. Amen
