Prayer for America 10/04/05

Father, in a nation that is filled with different people, different ideals, different beliefs, and different goals, teach us to love. Help us see others through your eyes. Help us learn from others. Help us listen to others. Help us respect others. Help us honor others. Help us encourage others. Help us reach out to others. Help us share with others. Help us applaud others. Help us rejoice with others. Help us mourn with others. Help us join with others so that, in this nation, there will no longer be "others"--there will only bu "us." Amen.
