A prayer for Friday (August 21, 2020)

Turn my eyes to the cross, Lord. Turn my eyes to the cross.

When the nations rage and evil men boast, turn my eyes to the cross. When illness stalks and death circles, turn my eyes to the cross. When uncertainty is all around, turn my eyes to the cross.

When I see the bleeding traveler by the side of the road, may I not move to the other side; turn my eyes to the cross.

When I hear the cries of the hopeless and the laments of the helpless, may I not tune them out; turn my eyes to the cross.

When my eyes are set on me and mine, turn my eyes to the cross.

Turn my eyes to the cross, Lord.

Amen
