Reflection

“The voices of the world are loud and sparse, but the voice of God is a constant whisper.”
–Benjamin J. Elger

Prayer

God beside us,

As we collaborate with you to bring health and well-being to others, give us greater facility in deep listening—to our patients and colleagues and especially to you. Guide us, gently but surely, in ways we can hear, each in our own way. Help us bring our best selves into the work we perform and to trust our expertise and training for the tasks at hand, yet also to rely on your Spirit among us, whispering encouragement and direction to sustain our souls. For the sake of those in need of good help, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Deliberately carve out a space in my heart today, to listen actively for new direction and wisdom that can help me in my work, relationships, and decisions.
