Reflection

“Courage over comfort.” –Brené Brown

Prayer

God,

It’s not always easy and it’s not often safe to embody your mission. You often call us out beyond our usual places of comfort. We pray, therefore, that as we strive to exercise courage, your protection and love would cover and guide us as we follow you in the service of those who are vulnerable, marginalized, and oppressed. We ask this especially on behalf of those associates who so courageously serve in locations and environments that can frankly be dangerous, if not simply uncomfortable. Shelter them and us, that we all may learn better how to carry your ministry into the places where the needs are the greatest. Amen.
