I'm contemplating the notion of loving and praying for those who are different from us...those who have nothing to give us...those who can't do anything for us...those whose political beliefs are different...those whose faith seemingly opposes ours...those who make us uncomfortable...those who we can't see but we know are there....those who have power and riches...those who live in poverty...those who have a voice...those who lack the platform to speak...the bully and three bullied...
We live in a polarized society. It's easy to pray for "our team." It's much more difficult to pray for all sides. And it's even more challenging to pray for the invisible few who sit on the margins only to become lost in the midst of ideological fighting.
My prayer is simple.
Speak God, thy humble servant is listening.
