I Will, With God's Help

Holy and Gracious God, you call to me and I answer, "Here I am!" Help me to listen with ears sensitive to the softest word and the angriest. Help me to follow when the path seems easy and when the path seems impossible. Help me to see the hungry and give them food, the thirsy and give them a cold cup of water. Help me to give thanks to you for the gift of life, my life, the life of others, and especially the gift of life given to us through your Son. Help me to be still when I need to be still and to move when action is called. In all things and in all ways help me as I seek to be your hands and heart in this world. Amen.
