Eternal God,
Mother and father of us all,
we place ourselves in your care today.
Lift up our soul
when we are worn down by anxieties and responsibilities.
Give us the strength to feel a new sense of purpose,
a fresh beginning,
and a greater awareness of your presence,
Help us to see the world and all its people through your eyes.
Stir up within us feelings of compassion
so that we can deal lovingly and graciously
with the people whose paths we cross today.
As we go about our daily lives in a busy and demanding world,
let us remember Jesus
who gave everything for the sake of other people,
yet who also understood his own need of solitude and prayer.
Help us to follow his example
and to seek the peace that comes from quiet reflection.
Help us to be strong enough to give,
and gentle enough to receive.
Nurture us
sustain us
inspire us.
Hold each one of us in strong and tender arms.
Help us always to know that you are with us,
and that you will lead us onward.
AMEN
