Reflection

“Just because some people are fueled by drama doesn’t mean you have to attend the performance.”
–Cheryl Richardson

Prayer

Spirit of truth,

People can often get weird and upset about the most trivial things. They seem to enjoy all the drama and will even create some, just to shake up the day. Help us be wise to such theatrics and bold in the way we respond. There are too many people in need and too many problems waiting for solutions for us to be distracted by superficial, attention-seeking behavior. Instead of the drama, give us focus and stamina, and the power to stay united in the mission we share together with you. Amen.

Call to Action

I will undoubtedly be drawn into drama today that has nothing to do with advancing my work or extending our mission of healing compassion. Be on guard and lead by example: ignore it, or if it’s time to speak up, issue a word that can raise all our sights to what really matters.
