Reflection

“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

Prayer

God over all,

Every part of your creation is woven together and shares a singular destiny, such that everything we do and say as a ministry should respect this wider network of life that holds us all together, as creatures who live before your loving gaze. Help us grow in wisdom as we answer this great calling, that we might embody a spirit of stewardship more effectively. With gratitude for trusting us with such a sacred responsibility, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Consider the many ways in which I am embedded within and dependent upon a vast network of life much bigger than me. How can I support that network concretely today?
