A Prayer for the Homeless
Bless the homeless, this day and everyday,
keep them from physical and emotional harm,
fill their hearts with hope for the future and for today,
comfort the homeless as they walk their difficult paths.
May I know that anyone, even me, can be homeless.
Bless the homeless with enough food to sustain them,
with enough warmth to shield them from the elements,
with the power to wrestle personal demons and win,
with the will to go on, and build their lives again.
May hope touch each homeless heart, spirit and life,
let the kindness of others bring lasting benefits,
bring freedom from addiction, illness and misery,
open their humanity to include & embrace themselves.
Bless the homeless with self acceptance and love,
spark their imaginations with belief in the future,
bringing the possibility of a better life,
a safer life and a more secure life.

(82,333 posts)May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships so that we may live deep within your heart.
May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people so that we may work for justice freedom and peace.
May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in this world so that we can do what others claim cannot be done.
Amen
