Reflection

“What do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?” –George Eliot

Prayer

Gracious God,

Guide us as a ministry to make life gentler and less difficult for one another and for those we serve. In the work we share and the community we strive to build, give us eyes to see the burdens others carry, hearts willing to listen, and hands ready to help without judgment or condition. Remind us that every person is made in your image and infinitely worthy of respect and recognition. As we encounter so many different people today, let our lives reflect your grace, so that whoever we meet will be filled with greater hope, peace, and strength. Amen.

Call to Action

I will probably encounter someone today whose life I can make a bit less difficult. Do so with joy!
