“In the blame game, everybody loses, and nobody changes.” –Patsy Clairmont

Prayer

Gracious God,

Help us resist the urge to blame others for our struggles and shortcomings. Instead, may we cultivate hearts of humility and forgiveness, knowing that no one is perfect and that in blaming each other we only put obstacles in the way of your healing and transformation. Empower us, therefore, to take responsibility for our actions and to seek reconciliation where there is division. Guide us in fostering a spirit of unity and growth, through which your transformative power can bring about lasting change—in our personal lives, in the lives of the patients we’re called to serve, and in our wider communities. Amen.

Call to Action

Fight the urge to blame others for the problems I see, whether at work or in life more broadly. Do something constructive instead!
