A Prayer for Being Present with Others

This prayer is the opening prayer from our third session of Compassion Camp, published by Illustrated Ministry. We’ve attached a coloring page of this prayer as well. Take some time to pray these words, or to print out the coloring sheet and color it in while offering your prayer to God.

A Prayer for Being Present with Others

Loving Spirit,

You are active and alive, always moving and stirring within and around us!

Please be an encouraging wind at our backs,

Giving us open minds and soft hearts to follow where you lead.

Make us flexible and present in each moment,

That we might embrace compassion by letting go of what we expected.

Amen.
