O God,
You are the source of light and life.
Your love for the world, the whole world, is beyond measure.
Help me to remember that everyone I encounter is your beloved child.
When I face conflict or disagreements with someone, help me to remember you love us both.
When I find myself blaming people for their hardships or mistakes, fill me with compassion.
When I want to hate or reject someone, teach me how to love instead.
When I hear of tragedy, help me to see the ways you are bringing hope.
Open my eyes and my heart to your light and your love in the world.
Amen.
