Very, Very Short Self-Esteem Prayer

Last week, my inner critic was being fed well. My self-esteem was just shredded. This morning, I said this very brief prayer:

Dear God, 

Please, 

Ease 

All 

Cruel 

Emotions

Sikh Temple Shooting (Prayer)

Each year Unity has a World Day of Prayer. Our Church includes a service where leaders of different religions, including Sikhs, are invited to offer up a prayer. The victims of the recent shooting, their loved ones, and the entire Sikh community are in our prayers today. Here is my personal prayer:

Dear God, today we are trying to understand why such a peaceful community has been the target of such awful violence. Enfold the community in your love and peace. Comfort those who have lost loved ones. Heal the bodies of those who have sustained physical injuries. Heal the hearts of the victims, their families, and friends. Guide us all to create a world of peace, love, respect, and mutual support. A-men
