Wednesday, May 2 — Psalm 57:1–6
Leviticus 24:10–25:17; Mark 8:1–13
Take courage, all you people of the land, says the Lord; work, for I am with you. Haggai 2:4
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 1 Corinthians 3:7
Lord, there is so much to do! We are overwhelmed by the need; at times, we are overwhelmed by the danger. May we be steadfast and faithful in our service, yet always remembering that success does not depend only on us. Remind us to depend on you, dear Lord, and when we seek rest, may we find it in you. Amen.
