Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

July 30, 2020

Be Encouraged by God's Word
Let all who seek you
    rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation
    say evermore, “God is great!”
But I am poor and needy;
    hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
    O Lord, do not delay!

— Psalm 70:4-5, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Don't worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.

— Dorothy Day

Pray Together with Us

Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor and in misery,
a captive and forsaken as I am,
You know all man's distress;
You abide with me
when all others have deserted me;
You do no forget but seek me,
You will that I should know you and turn to you.
Lord, I hear your call and follow you;
Do help me.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
