A Prayer for Kindness

A Christianity prayer for blessing. Attributed to Sacred Lens Original.

Gracious God,

Make me attentive to opportunities for kindness today.

Help me notice the person others overlook, listen to someone who needs to be heard, encourage the discouraged, and offer practical help when it is within my power to give it.

Keep me from assuming that small acts do not matter. A gentle word, patient response, shared meal, sincere compliment, or moment of compassion may carry more meaning than I realise.

Let kindness become more than something I occasionally do.

Shape it into the way I choose to live.

Amen.
