Help Me to See Other's Needs 

Oh, Lord God, give me the grace today to not pass by someone who needs my help. Sometimes I can get so tied up with tunnel vision in my life that I block out the needs of others around me. With Your grace, I can examine my attitude about how I treat people who may be less fortunate than myself. I may not be able to care for everyone's needs, but I ask You to help me see people through Jesus' eyes.

Amen.
