50 DCLM Prayer Points Against the Spirit of Lacking Empathy:
Exhortation:
Hey there! Ever feel like the world’s spinning so fast, it’s easy to get caught up in our own little bubble? We’re all hustling, chasing dreams, and sometimes, in the midst of it all, we might miss seeing things from someone else’s shoes. But here’s the thing: that ability to truly connect, to feel what another person is feeling – that’s pure gold. It enriches our lives, strengthens our communities, and honestly, it’s a reflection of the love that’s been poured into us. Let’s open our hearts a little wider, shall we? Let’s choose to see the world through a lens of understanding and kindness.
Confession:
Father, we come before you acknowledging those times when we’ve been so focused on ourselves that we’ve failed to truly see the needs and emotions of those around us. Forgive us for the moments we’ve been quick to judge, slow to understand, and perhaps even indifferent to the struggles of others. We confess that we haven’t always reflected your heart of compassion. We ask for your grace to soften our hearts and open our eyes to the world around us. In Jesus name, Amen.
Scripture Reading:
Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV): “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your1 own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Praise and Worship:
(Imagine a moment of uplifting music and heartfelt expressions of gratitude)
Let’s take a moment to thank God for His boundless love and compassion towards us. Let’s praise Him for the gift of empathy, which allows us to connect with one another on a deeper level. Let’s worship Him for His example of selfless love and kindness.
