A Prayer For An Open Heart

Precious Lord, most wonderful Savior, ever-filling Holy Spirit, please give us an open heart.
Yes, Lord, we know when we open our heart how pain can come in, but we are courageous.
When we are tempted to turn away or discount other's needs before us, let those needs touch our heart.
When we are besieged with the hurt of the world and we do not want to look, give us strength to see how much of your love the world needs from us.
When our heart breaks from the terrible darkness invading our life, give us your love and wisdom so we can be strong.
Precious Jesus, please come back.
We need you here on Earth, walking among us as you did so long ago.
We have problems we cannot solve.
We have hatreds running amok.
We have devout saints of the faith who are being attacked by the darkness from every direction.
We see our world slipping into a darkness we are helpless to stop except by praying to you.
Please hear our prayers for we are not very powerful right now.
We come to you in humility and love while making our requests in faith so your divine love will act.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who is always by our side.
Amen
