National Wear Red Day

Reflection

“With all vigilance guard your heart, for in it are the sources of life.” –Proverbs 4:23

Prayer

Heartbeat of life,

There are so many reasons to guard our hearts. Yet today we are concerned, quite literally, with the dangers of heart disease and the need to promote heart healthy habits. For the women whose health is most at threat, lead us to support them as we encourage each other, to pursue every opportunity for prevention and healing. For the researchers and clinicians engaged in discovering and promoting new interventions, we ask you to guide them with wisdom and excellence in all their endeavors. May we all be more conscious of the choices we’re making and the impact these have on our sources of life, health, and well-being. Amen.

Call to Action

Wear red today to “be the beat,” raising awareness about heart disease and stroke in women.
