Deacon John Writes
Deacon John Writes:
I think we all know there are times when our concern for others is not what it should be. At times like these there is a prayer by William Barclay which may help:
God of all people, may I never pray as if there was no one except me. Help me to remember that I am not the only person in the world, and I live in a world in which there are many people who have troubles. Bless all those today who are lonely or frightened, all those who are shy or nervous, all those who are suffering a lot of pain, all those who are feeling depressed, all those who are worried, all those who are ill, and may not get better. Help me to forget my own troubles and to show loving care for the people I meet. May I remember that Jesus is my friend and brother, and may I try to be like that to everyone.
Please try this prayer during the coming week. If it is of help to you cut it out of the newsletter and keep it somewhere safe such as your handbag or wallet and use it when you feel the need for the help it gives you.
With my love and prayers for you all.
