Prayer
Dear God,
As I come before you today, I ask for your guidance in cultivating a heart that seeks to understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures around me. Help me to approach others with respect and empathy, recognizing the unique value and contributions that each culture brings to our world. Grant me the wisdom to see beyond my own experiences and perspectives, and the humility to learn from those who are different from me.
Fill me with a spirit of curiosity and openness, that I may engage with others in meaningful ways and build bridges of understanding across cultural divides. Help me to recognize and challenge my own biases, and to be a source of unity and love in my interactions with people from all walks of life.
Thank you for the opportunity to grow in cultural understanding, and for the richness that diversity brings to our lives. May my efforts toward fostering cultural understanding bring honor and glory to you, and contribute to greater harmony and unity in our world.
