A prayer for those serving others

"It is in giving that we receive..." St. Francis of Assisi

God bless those that serve,
Your spirit flows through them
Giving grace to those they are with
Like a mountain spring there source is pure and caring

Be with those that serve, even when difficulties arise
for you are in the darkness too
providing love to those who have seen little
giving compassion to those who have been judged harshly

Be with those that serve, especially when they are laughing
For when we serve, we tire
But a jolly laugh restores the soul

Be with those that serve, in unimaginable ways
For in the giving of ourselves
Your spirit fills our being
Making us whole

God be with those who serve...for they have seen your face and said, "God is Good"
