A Prayer for Mental Health Awareness Week by Methodist Vice President Deacon Eunice Attwood

Loving and compassionate God,
In the ebb and flow of our mental health,

Breathe peace into anxious minds.
Pour strength into weary hearts.
Let hope rise in the lonely silences.

May we listen with openness,
Love beyond measure,

Guide us, loving God, to remove barriers,
Replacing stigma with compassion,
Nurturing a world where mental health is cherished,
Where every heart finds shelter in grace.

For your love endures,
A light for our path, a presence in every breath

Amen.

Deacon Eunice Attwood
