Father in heaven,

Make me aware of the pain of others more than my own discomfort. Make me aware of the needs of others more than my own desires. Make me aware of the grief of others more than my own sadness.

Help me to see the world with Your eyes and Your heart. Fill me with compassion. Let me empty myself to be filled with Your Spirit.

Make me over in the image of Your Son.

In Jesus’ holy name,
Amen
