Lord, for the vulnerable in my workplace, including me, I ask you to pray
Life is precious because it is vulnerable. Let’s not forget the preciousness and vulnerability of life during the times we are powerful, successful and popular.
– Henri J.M. Nouwen

Soldiers Lost and Found: Students Rediscover the Fallen
Until I am in your final, safe embrace, Lord, help me to find peace with the issues that bind me here on earth

– John Gardner
from a speech
For all those, including spouses, family members, friends and colleagues, dealing with devastating health issues, we pray
Every cancer is a journey. You never know where the journey will take you, where you’ll go. You’ll have moments of fear, hope, pain, and if you’re lucky, joy. What’s important is to go with it–wherever it goes. A great many things will be outside your control. You have to accept that you’re not entirely the driver.
– Joe Eszterhas
Crossbearer

– Kent M. Keith

– Linkin Park
