Midday Prayer on Matthew 25:36

Dear Lord,

These words call us to action, to compassion, to see Your face in the faces of those in need. Help us to recognize Your presence in the lives of the downtrodden, the sick, the imprisoned, and those who are hurting. Give us the courage to reach out, the wisdom to serve effectively, and the love to make a difference in the lives of others. May our hands be Your hands, our words Your words, as we minister to those around us. Let us be a reflection of Your love, bringing comfort and hope to those who need it most. Open our eyes to see the opportunities around us to make a real difference, and guide us to act with kindness, empathy, and grace. In the compassionate and loving name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
