“Change always comes bearing gifts.” –Price Pritchett

Prayer

Transforming God,

We are often resistant to change. Perhaps because we’re afraid it will mean hardship and burdens we never bargained for. Open our eyes to the many ways in which change can also bring blessing and gift and opportunity. Make us agents of that kind of change, eager to shape the culture and systems around us in new ways, improving the health and well-being of all. For the sake of patients in need of compassionate care, communities struggling beneath systemic injustice, and a world waiting for a reason to hope, we pray for change to come, through us, today. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there an upcoming change that has me in knots? Take time today to release my anxiety and welcome the gifts that may in fact be waiting just around the corner.
