Prayer

All-wise Creator,

In the network of life you designed, no life is useless. Rather all things have purpose and meaning. Even our breath is a gift we can share for the good of the world around us! With hearts full of faith, hope, and love, help us live into our purpose more and more deliberately, with conviction and determination. And when the going gets tough and we start feeling useless, lead us back to a heart of simplicity, grateful for the many opportunities we’ve been given to extend your goodness to others, sometimes without even knowing it! Amen.

Call to Action

Set aside at least five minutes to sit quietly today. Practice deep and cleansing breaths. Marvel at the gift of my breath.
