Prayer for the Overlooked
O Spirit who sees the unseen,
Hold close the ones left out of the headlines this week—the asylum-seeker turned away, the whistleblower fired, the single parent priced out of their neighborhood. In a world obsessed with power, remind us that every soul is sacred. Let our hearts be restless until justice is not just spoken, but lived.
Give us courage to notice what others ignore, and to speak when silence feels safer. Bless our weariness with clarity. Bless our outrage with love. And bless our hands to be busy with repair, not revenge.
Reflection:
This week, in the shadow of sweeping political moves and grandstanding speeches, it’s the quiet erasures that ache the most. May we be people who don't look away.
