For Kindness

Kind Savior,
Let kindness be evident in the way I treat others. When that means taking an extra moment to slow down from busyness to acknowledge someone else and take time to listen, help me be aware of it. Guide me also to speak kindly to others in general, so that when they leave a conversation with me, they feel uplifted and positive. When kindness doesn’t require words, let my actions and gestures display it. Guard me against favoritism, so that my kindness isn’t limited only to those I choose. Bless others who could benefit from being built up in even small ways through my deliberate efforts at being kind. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Blessing of Humor

Dear Lord,
Thank you for the blessings of humor, smiles, and laughter. There is more than enough in this world that is either sad or serious, and humor provides a welcome and necessary break from it. In fact, we are so wonderfully made that smiling itself is tied to physiological benefits in our bodies and minds. Help us to smile more! Thank you for those in our lives who make us laugh, whether professionally or personally, as friends. Thank you for those with the gift of telling funny stories through books and movies. Keep us also from being drawn to humor that crosses the line by being offensive, unclean, or unkind. May our laughter, like anything else, always honor you.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
