Prayer
Spirit of hope,
On World Suicide Prevention Day, help us remember that every simple act of kindness, even to a stranger, can become a powerful encounter with your transforming love and hope for the world. Indeed, as a ministry, we confess that your hope for the world is what inspires us and fuels our vision of a culture worth having. And so we pray, give us more of your hope! Fill and empower us to continue injecting hope to all those around us, as we continue striving to identify and respond effectively to the needs of all those we serve, and those we serve beside, whether they suffer in mind, body, or spirit. Amen.
Call to Action
Keep my eyes out for that one person who could use a warm greeting. Share with them some basic human kindness.
