“Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.”
–Reinhold Niebuhr

Prayer

Wellspring of hope,

In our health care context today, it can be hard to stay focused on the long-term success of your mission. Much of our attention is otherwise consumed with the immediate needs and decisions before us. And yet, we are a people committed to playing our part in bringing your dream for the world into reality. We know it will take time; please give us patience. We know it will take determination; sustain us in hope. For those who are especially discouraged today, help us be a support to them and to invigorate hope in their hearts. May we stand out as a hope-filled community, anchored in the conviction that this work we share is truly a gift and a worth-while adventure. As those who are in it for the long haul, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Who around me deserves a reminder that their work is important, valuable, and worth it all? Be the source of someone’s hope and perseverance today.
