Loving God
who created both life and death
and are greater than either
help us choose life
Where there is illness and pain
move us to bring healing
Where there is sadness
move us to listen
Where there is abuse
move us to truth and freedom
Where there is poverty
move us to share what we have
Where there is misery
move us to offer comfort and help
Where there is isolation
move us to community
Where there is exploitation
move us to solidarity
Where there are no choices
move us to offer hope and imagination
Where there is violence
move us to peace and calm
Where there is division
move us toward unity
In everything we do
Creator of all
move us toward you

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful prayer. I work in a long term care facility & believe this would bring comfort to many. With your permission i would like to share it with the residents & their families. As a recent widow, i was particularly moved by the reminder that death is a part of God's plan for us all but He is greater than any pain or sense of loss. I do hope you see this note as i see that it was aposted a bit ago. Thanks again for brightening my day and giving me a powerful prayer to comfort & inspire me. Keep up the good work. Yours in Christ, Maxwell Hamilton
