Prayer

Gracious God, too often we might think our contribution will not make a difference in a struggling world. Yet, great leaders and visionaries have always reminded us that even the smallest act can have tremendous influence. Give us the courage today to offer our gifts and talents no matter how small we may think them. And give us the wisdom to appreciate that no act of love or goodness or justice is ever insignificant. We pray, trusting in your goodness. Amen.

Prayer

Gracious God, we live in a world that measures success in many ways. For some, success is measured by the size of a bank account or the number of possessions surrounding them in their home. Still others measure success by the difference they have made in the lives of others. Fill our hearts with your love and compassion and our minds with your wisdom. Inspire us that we might resolve to be of value through positively influencing the lives of others. Amen.
