Reflection

“Anxiety is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you very far.”
–Jodi Picoult

Prayer

God on the move,

Forbid us from becoming people who worry incessantly yet never contribute a useful response to the problems we face together. Instead, may we become a ministry community that generates traction, momentum, and a culture-shaping sense of direction. Through creativity, innovation, and an infectious enthusiasm for the possible, help us transform the anxiety in the world around us into constructive collaboration. As those called to extend your compassionate ministry far and wide, and long into the future, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Where in my work and ministry am I stuck in anxiety? Take time to reflect and, as needed, ask a friend or colleague to keep me accountable as I seek to move forward.
