Reflection

“If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.”
–Betty Reese

Prayer

God of the humble,

The world tempts us to think that the power to make a difference depends on the position we occupy or the money we make or the number of people we’re in charge of. Yet in the ministry you started the reality is much more surprising and encouraging! Your transforming power often comes through the humblest of people from the lowliest places. Let this truth build up our spirits today, as we invite you to magnify the effects of our work. No matter what our role or function, how big or small our offering, we pause and give you thanks for this day’s opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve and serve beside. Amen.

Call to Action

Do I struggle sometimes feeling powerless? Take five minutes today to recommit to the work before me, remembering that I can do small things with great love.
