Reflection

“We tend to overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a decade. Miraculous things can be accomplished if you give it ten years.” –Kevin Kelly

Prayer

God of our progress,

Help us to be patient with ourselves, as we learn to find balance in the goals that we set for our lives. The same goes as well for the directions we take in this ministry, which we share with you and each other. Give us patience as we pursue our mission together, committing ourselves to good service that responds to felt needs, while committing our sense of “success” to your hands. And as the years roll on, may we continue to look back and give thanks at all the ways you have blessed us, abundantly more than we could have ever imagined. Amen.

Call to Action

Set aside five minutes today to focus on my team, my associates, and colleagues, and consider how I can support them towards our shared, long-term success as a ministry.
