1 CORINTHIANS 3:9 (CEB)
We are God’s coworkers...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God has given us partnership in his work.
PRAYER
Lord God, we are so blessed that you have included us as partners in your work of restoring creation. Forgive me for thinking that I have to solve all of these problems on my own or that what I do is worthless. Help me to see how I fit in and to trust you to make sense of all that is happening around me. I'm going to work with you -- and that is a blessing. Amen.
