“Failure’s not fatal — it’s feedback.” –Lisa Borders

Prayer

God of tomorrow,

There are many different ways to say the same thing: the only true failure is the refusal to get back up again and learn from our mistakes. When obstacles assail us with the feeling of defeat, let our hearts remind us that your grace is sufficient and that, with your help and accompaniment, there is nothing we face that cannot be overcome. As a ministry, striving to extend your compassionate ministry to so many in need, let our vision of success be defined by our faithful resilience more than anything else. We needn’t be perfect to respond to your call, we need only be faithful. Day in and day out. For all those who are sick; for the poor, the dying, and the underserved; for the vulnerable and marginalized, we pray. Amen.
