Reflection

“One cannot hire a hand. The whole [person] comes with it.” –Peter Drucker

Prayer

God of wholeness,

We can no more separate our personal lives from our work lives than we can separate our bodies from our spirits. And so we give thanks that the ministry we’re a part of is committed to our growth as persons and invests so much in our advancement. Guide our leaders to continue such good work, as they identify and promote those ready for something new that fits their gifts and talents. Let all our associates feel the invitation to bring their whole selves to work, no matter their role or function, that we might be a place where all want to work and practice, seek wellness and thrive. As we extend your compassionate ministry with authenticity today, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

What does it mean for me to bring my whole self to work? Reflect on that question and recommit to being fully present to those I encounter.
