Prayer: Open My Life

Heavenly Father,

Open my eyes 
to see as you see and weep as you weep

Open my heart 
to love the broken and care for those without hope

Open my hands 
to hold what I have lightly and to share cheerfully

Open my mouth 
to speak for the voiceless and to shout for mercy

Open my ears 
to the gentle whispers of your Spirit and to obey what you say

Open up my life 
to the call of your voice and the needy cries of the dying

Amen
