A prayer for those who feel burdened

May those who are seen as burdens know that the love of an all knowing, all seeing God will sustain them and His arms embrace them.

May those who feel burdened find respite in knowing that they, too, are interdependent in this world, and can ask for help.

May we seek God to lift our burdens, rather than judge the most vulnerable among us. May we be accountable in our thoughts, words and deeds to the Lord who knows what we think, say and do at all times.

May everyone find room in their heart for the forgiveness that our human failings requires, both now and in the hereafter.

Amen
