Blessed are those who care and who are not afraid to show it — they will let people know they are loved.

Blessed are those who are gentle and patient
— they will help people to grow as the sun helps the buds to open and blossom.


Blessed are those who have the ability to listen — they will lighten many a burden.

Blessed are those who will not walk away, but remain to provide a comforting and supportive presence — they will help the sufferer to bear the unbearable.

Blessed are those who recognize their own need to receive, and who receive with graciousness — they will be able to give all the better.

Blessed are those who give without hope of return
— they will give people an experience of God.

Lord, When I feel like I don’t matter, remind me that I was created with purpose. When I don’t know or understand why I feel the way I feel - remind me that you know the depth of pain in my heart, in my body and in my being. Remind me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and I am worth more than I know.
In Jesus precious name, Amen.



Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, giver of life and health, we trust that in your time and way, you will dispel all darkness with your light, all confusion with your order, and all fear with your peace. Grant eternal rest unto those who have died by suicide O Lord; and may perpetual light shine upon them.
