Sometimes we get so busy, even at church, that we become blind to the needs of the people right around us. We walk past hurting people every day without ever really seeing them. Today we want to pray this simple prayer together: "God, put someone in our path today, and help us to see them with Jesus' eyes." It is a prayer that can change how we move through an ordinary day, if we are willing to slow down long enough to notice.
