Reflection

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

Prayer

God of peace,

It is easy these days to feel overwhelmed by the persistent problems we face and the seemingly unending stream of bad news we hear. These problems and the bad news we encounter can tempt us to doubt in the goodness of the future. Inspire us this day to remember that the future is in our hands and that each day is an opportunity for us to create it. May we remain faithful to your call in our lives and committed to the creation of a world of justice, freedom, dignity, and peace. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on how I might help to create a better future by the choices I make and the acts I perform.
