Give me a kind heart that will endure,
One that's strong and secure.
To help someone along the way,
May this be my goal everyday.
Let me lend a helping hand
To someone whose life has not gone as planned.
Reaching out to one in need,
May this be my daily good deed,
To provide a guiding light
For someone lost in the dark of night,
Let me take time to care
For someone experiencing despair,
Whatever I do, everywhere I go,
Your will, dear Lord, let me know.

I’ve posted this prayer before. It’s the one my mom gave me. A prayer she prayed every day, but she didn’t just pray it, she followed it. Right up until her last breath she was smiling a people. At age 101 her kind heart just gave out. I do my best to read this prayer every morning, and to follow it.
The daily repetition has given me new prayer categories. As people have different needs along the way, so there are the different ways we can help. And yet, it all pretty much the same.
With a kind heart, show up, listen, pray, take action.
Some lives just haven’t turned out the way people had hoped or anticipated.
Let me lend a helping hand
To someone whose life has not gone as planned.
From time to time we all are in need. Maybe it’s just temporary, not life threatening.
Reaching out to one in need,
May this be my daily good deed,
Some people get lost, take a wrong turn, are influenced in the wrong way.
To provide a guiding light
For someone lost in the dark of night,
Then there is despair when all seems lost forever—a death, illness, accident, divorce, loss of job.
For someone experiencing despair,
Whatever I do, everywhere I go,
One that's strong and secure.
