Reflection

“There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.” –Brené Brown

Prayer

God over all,

The gifts and talents within our ministry are truly astounding! With gratitude for your blessings among us, help us create a work environment that welcomes innovation and creativity, as we learn to respond to so many challenges across the healthcare spectrum. No matter our role or function, help us be willing to try new things and welcome new ideas, and also to be gracious when plans don’t materialize in the ways that we’d hoped. May we enact a culture that reframes “failure” as part and parcel of our growth together, as we develop efficient and effective ways to better meet the needs of all our patients and families. Inspired by your own hope for this world, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Are there any recent failures for which I need to forgive myself? Be gracious with myself today and recommit to doing the best job I can, while always looking to improve.
