Reflection

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

Prayer

Infinite hope,

You never promised that the road would be easy as we advance the mission you gave us. In fact you assured us that, if we were on the right course, we would face obstacles in extending your ministry into the world. As we deal with the disappointment that follows our setbacks, grace us with renewed hope from your own heart. Let your infinite hope overcome all the finite disappointments we face, in the course of our mission together and in the course of our lives overall. Amen.

Call to Action

Devote some time today so as to release my finite disappointments while returning to my wellspring of hope. Go back to my duties renewed by hope.
