Reflection

“Brothers and sisters: Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” –Philippians 4:6-7

Prayer

Guardian of peace,

In this moment of prayer and unity, we implore you to guard our hearts and minds from anxiety and fear. For the patients and families we serve, let our service give them support and encouragement in the trials they face. For the colleagues who share this good work with us, may each of us be filled with a peace beyond understanding, that we might spread your goodness with love and compassion. In all thanksgiving, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there an upcoming decision or recent piece of news that is causing me anxiety? Take this moment to release myself mentally from the anxious burden that comes with my worry.
