Reflection

“Prayer is the place of refuge, refreshment, and renewal; it prepares us to serve others with renewed strength.” –Henri Nouwen

Prayer

God our strength,

We come to you in prayer today and ask you to be our refuge, provide us refreshment, and renew us for the sake of your mission among us. Faced with all the busyness of our agendas, quick-paced decisions, and just the challenge of being fully in the moment and present to each person we meet, we invite you to accompany us with your presence. May every heart find a way to perform their duties with a prayerful spirit, welcoming your strength. Amen.

Call to Action

Open my spirit in prayer today, even if I must continue with the tasks at hand. Let a prayerful heart be under the surface of all my doing and being.
