A Prayer for Guidance, Encouragement, and Strength

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.

Gentle One,

Thank you for your Spirit within us

who guides, encourages, and strengthens us.

Help us see ourselves through your eyes-

with love, kindness, and deep joy.

May we love our bodies, treasure our hearts,

and celebrate our spirits.

Amen.
