For Providing Daily Bread

Caring Father,
You watch over and provide the necessities of life for all of creation, including mankind, the crown of creation, in so many ways. By design you use parents to meet the needs of children as they are raised and grow up in the home. In many situations where parents aren’t or cannot be present, you provide grandparents to step in and carry out those responsibilities. You also work through many social services to care for children and adults alike in special circumstances or with special needs that require additional care and attention. For seniors, a demographic often overlooked and neglected by many in society, assisted living facilities offer the added services to supply what is needed in the later stages of life. Thank you for these many ways you lovingly provide daily bread for over eight billion people in the world. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Be Aware of the Needs of Others

Compassionate Savior,
During your time on earth, as both God and man, you were aware of the needs of others. Sometimes your omniscience revealed these needs; other times you were simply socially aware enough to pick up on when others were hurting or experiencing some degree of loss. You then responded accordingly, never too busy for others or too self-absorbed that you overlooked or ignored the needs of others.

While I want to be focused and faithful to my callings in life, never allow my concentration in one area of life to result in my inattentiveness to the needs of others. My calling to be a neighbor to others in need often opens the door to opportunities for you to be made known and glorified. Therefore, grant me the emotional intelligence to sense when others are hurting or need help. Whether the cues are subtle or plain as day, let me pick up on them, so that in whatever way possible, I may love and serve my neighbor according to his needs.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
