Reflection

“Most of the things we need to be most fully alive never come in busyness. They grow in rest.”
–Mark Buchanan

Prayer

Spirit of rest,

We are especially mindful of those associates serving in patient-facing roles today. You have called them to be walking signs of your compassion to people in need, and they accept that great mission with devotion and dedication. Empower them, each and every day, but especially in those moments when the strain of busyness begins to take a toll. Form us into an authentic community of support and resilience, for each other as well as for those we serve, so that all your people in need of rest may find it. In communion with you, giver of life itself. Amen.

Call to Action

Take five minutes today to set my mind and heart on receiving genuine rest. Step away from the chaos and remember those gifts that make busy times worthwhile.
