“Prayer does not equip us for greater works – prayer is the greater work.” – Oswald Chambers

Prayer

God with us,

When we are tempted to think of prayer as a distraction from the “real work” that needs doing in response to the needs around us, help us remember: prayer is what unites us with your presence. And your presence with us makes literally all the difference in the world. As those who are called to extend your work and ministry in the world today, help us to cultivate a habit of seeking your presence among us. In prayer, help us invite you continuously to dwell with us and show us the paths we should follow. For the life of the world, we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Where in my life do I need to step back and rest, retrieving a sense of balance between my doing and my being? Be mindful of my own well-being today, taking time to stay grounded in mind, body,
and spirit.
