Reflection

“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can’t buy more hours. Scientists can’t invent new minutes. And you can’t save time to spend it on another day.” –Denis Waitley

Prayer

God beyond time,

Some of us grieve time that we’ve wasted, yet you call us ever forward in the hope of a truly new day, another chance to make the most of the time you have given. Help us, therefore, not to dwell on mistakes in the past but instead to learn and move on by your grace and forgiveness, so that this day might be more filled with your light and love, in communion with others. Be gracious to us as a ministry, as we continue to grow in the directions you call us. May we all look back on this day with contentment, knowing we filled our time doing your good work in the world, especially for vulnerable people in their time of need. Amen.

Call to Action

Be deliberate in how I spend my time today. Beyond the planned schedule, make the most of
every moment.
