Thoughtless

We’ve all been thoughtless in our lives. It’s easy to do. It’s much more difficult being thoughtful and mindful about our words and our actions. It is a lot easier, sometimes funnier, sometimes more “normal,” and sometimes more provocative to be thoughtless about ourselves or others…it’s easier to make assumptions about people…it’s harder to get to know them. That takes effort…and time…and we are so busy!

Prayer of Thoughtlessness

  • 5 minutes: breathe in, breathe out…breathe in, breathe out…
  • Reflect on all of the ways you are thoughtless in your own life about yourself and about those around you

Forgive my thoughtlessness, o Lord…I have made assumptions about my neighbors and my friends…my colleagues and my enemies…

Forgive my biases against others in my life…

Make me more aware of the things in my life I don’t have to think about but others do…it’s unjust and unfair…and I don’t want to contribute to the inequity anymore…

Forgive all of our thoughtlessness, o Lord, and hear my cries of injustice on this day and everyday…

Amen
