A prayer of presence
O Provident God,
You send me to serve the needs of others.
May those closest in my life —
my family,
my co-workers,
my neighbors,
my friends,
recognize your Presence in me.
May those in my faith community —
those who lead and those who nurture,
my fellow worshipers,
those who need my prayers,
those for whom I have promised prayers,
recognize your Presence in me.
May those I meet regularly —
the grocery store cashier,
the trash remover,
the garage mechanic,
the wait staff,
recognize your Presence in me.
Amen.
