Lord Jesus, you said you wanted us to have abundant life.
May we want abundant living for all people, too.
In a world of great resources,
people are hungry and malnourished.
In a world of beautiful diversity,
there remains bigotry and hatred.
In an age of medical miracles, people suffer
from lack of adequate healthcare.
In a very populated world, people are lonely.
May we notice the pain of others.
May we do our part to offer hope and healing.
May we actively wish for all people to have abundant lives, including these who have been entrusted to our prayers.
Amen.
