Reflection

“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Prayer

God of hope,

We come to you again today as our wellspring of hope, believing that the ministry we share and to which we’ve devoted our lives will bring us closer to you while improving the lives of those we are called to serve. Inspire us, no matter what task or role we’ve been assigned, to share with those we encounter a contagious form of hope, brighter than all despair. And for those who feel especially despairing today, help us be agents of your transforming hope, eager to lift their spirits and to accompany them on their journeys towards wholeness. Amen.

Call to Action

Start my day with hope in my heart, and then allow that hope to flow outward to all those I
meet today.
