Reflection

“God doesn’t mind your imperfections: He minds your indifference.” –Paramhansa Yogananda

Prayer

Spirit of grace,

Those who serve in this ministry are naturally inspired and enthusiastic about helping others in need. Yet for a number of reasons it can be hard to go on, as we continue to face any number of obstacles. Exhaustion and burnout, red tape and bureaucracy, a lack of common courtesy or even palpable violence can make the mission we carry a daily challenge. For those who are tempted to respond with indifference and apathy, we pray that your spirit would guide us to support and protect them and renew their vision for the mission we carry together. Despite the imperfections within and around us, give us strength to go on with passion, compassion, and a desire to make a difference. Amen.
