Reflection

“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” –1 Corinthians 15:58

Prayer

Empowering God,

Today we pray for all associates who are struggling at work, or who may feel like their labor is in vain. We lift up those colleagues whose devotion to the mission we share is being challenged by what seems like an endless stream of need, or resistance, or setbacks over which they have no control. Empower them today by your spirit. Lead them back to their wellspring of hope. And may we be there for them, to see them and help them stand firm in their calling, that we all might go forward together. Always together. Amen.

Call to Action

Open the eyes of my heart today. Identify the colleague around me most in need of encouragement and be willing to empower them today with hope and encouragement.
