Here is today's prayer:
Most gracious God,
our lives are enriched by other lives.
We receive our lives from you and we grow
as our communion with you grows.
We also receive life from other persons and we
grow through friendship and sharing.
Enrich us in every meeting, in every shared moment.
Help us to give love freely and to accept love gladly.
May we seek out and live within meaningful relationships.
Where friendship is lacking, lead us to new
opportunity and new experience of life together with
other people.
Good relationship is one of your choice gifts.
May our lives be enriched by those human relationships
you intend for us. Lead the right persons
into our lives, make us receptive and responsive to
them. Lead us to those others whom we can enrich by
our friendship.
In the name of our companion, Jesus Christ. Amen.
~Thomas A. Langford Prayer and the Common Life, pg. 70
