A Prayer for When We Just Don’t Like Someone

Loving God,

sometimes we’re around someone

and we just don’t like them.

There can be something in us

that pulls back—

before we’ve even had time to understand it.

And yet—

you remind us

that beneath what feels different,

there is something deeper

that we share.

That we come from you.

That we are a part of the same life.

So in these moments,

help us to remain open.

Help us to see

what we do not yet feel.

Form in us a way of being

that makes connection possible

even when it does not come easily.

Amen.

When We’re Around People We Don’t Connect With

Sometimes we find ourselves around people

we wouldn’t choose to be around—

and we don’t feel much connection to them.

But Acts speaks to these moments.

And it names this:

“We too are his offspring…

We are God’s offspring.” (Acts 17:28–29)

That doesn’t erase our differences.

We don’t look the same,

think the same,

believe the same,

or move through the world in the same way.

Yet scripture reminds us

that we share one source.

That we are a part of

the same reality—

where “we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28)

So the question is:

Will we dare to believe

that what we share

is deeper than what separates us?

Will we begin to see one another

not just as different,

but as connected?

As belonging

to the same human family?

Sometimes that feels unlikely.

Sometimes it even feels impossible.

And yet—

we are invited to believe

that it is possible—

because with God,

all things are possible.

This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Peace be with you.

A Prayer for When It Feels Like This Is All There Is

Loving God,

When something hard is happening,

it can feel like this is how it’s always going to be.

Like the moment we’re in

is all there is.

And in those moments,

it becomes difficult to see beyond

what is right in front of us.

We feel the weight of it—

the fear,

the anger,

the disappointment.

And yet,

your presence remains.

Not somewhere beyond what we’re facing—

but within it.

So draw us

beyond what is right in front of us—

not away from it,

but through it.

Help us to hold

faith,

hope,

and love.

And help us to trust

that this moment

does not have the final word.

Amen.
