Reflection

“Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan.” –Simon Sinek

Prayer

God of tomorrow,

We strive to be responsible planners, using all of our resources as wisely as we can. Yet we know there are contingencies we simply cannot account for. Help us build into our lives a readiness to embrace the unexpected, so that we might be agile in responding to the changes and use them for good. As we pursue your mission of extending your compassionate ministry, help us rely on each other in the midst of disruption and to adjust our plans as needed. As one ministry, called by your name, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

How do I respond when events do not go according to plan? Be mindful today of how my spirit reacts to unexpected changes and make a deliberate attempt to become more flexible.
