Prayer for Kindness

2023 MISSION WEEK THEME: Act With Kindness 

In every waking moment and with every interaction, 
we have the opportunity to act with kindness.

Simple kindnesses — a hug, a smile, a word of encouragement — 
warm our days and our hearts. Greater acts of kindness can 
completely change lives. 

For kindness equips us with the capacity for deep understanding 
when we hear an opposing point of view. 

Kindness sharpens our perception and 
gives greater context to ideas we may not agree with.
Kindness shines a light on the goodness in others and
lays a foundation to build common ground.

It’s not an understatement to say that when we act with kindness, 
we are acting to uplift human dignity.

So challenge yourself today:
to truly hear others
to live with your whole heart
and to undertake everything you do with kindness.

Then watch your kindness spread.
