Reflection

“For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name by having served and continuing to serve the holy ones.” –Hebrews 6:10

Prayer

Just God,

The complaints people raise always stand out more than their praise. Meanwhile much of the good work that we do goes unnoticed. As we strive to continue extending your healing ministry, help us take comfort in knowing that you are always fair, that you see us when others do not, and that you do not forget the many ways we help those in need. While none of us are here to gain external awards, we are nonetheless thankful for this reminder from your word today: you are always attentive, and you see our good deeds performed in your name. Amen.

Call to Action

If I am tempted today to feel like my work does not matter, take a few minutes to center my heart and my mind on the bigger purpose to which I am committed and remember: I am making a difference.
