Help me, Jesus, to be a good listener to those who come to me sharing their concerns and feelings. There are days where I am put in the middle of situations, and I do not want to become part of the drama, and so the only thing I know to do is respond with silence, a hug, a prayer, or a smile. Give me strength, courage, and confidence to always be respectful, loving, and kind in the struggles. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
