Reflection

“The foundation of maturity: Just because it’s not your fault doesn’t mean it’s not your responsibility.” –Kevin Kelly

Prayer

God over all,

As we work together to extend your ministry today, protect us and all our colleagues from the frustrations that sometimes emerge amidst all the other demands we face. When mistakes or misunderstandings affect our team and performance, help us choose to be gracious and constructive, eager to improve and correct in ways that help us all. May all of our teams and all of our colleagues grow in maturity, anchored in a sense of responsibility and, ultimately, gratitude—for the role we get play in your mission on earth. Amen.

Call to Action

Avoid any temptation, should it come, to evade responsibility today. How can I become more responsible as a mission bearer in the work I perform?
