I’ve Learned… that I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.

Lord.
We struggle with our broken and divided hearts. Bless us with your peace as we strive to look and act in honesty about ourselves. Strengthen in us the glimpse of the glory you hold in store for us. Let that be the attractive force which stirs our hearts and not the attraction of sin. Give us true wisdom in our search for your justice. Amen.
