Good Morning, God,
Lord, the headlines are often about how particular persons are "in charge" of certain responsibilities and how they succeeded or how they fail. When a boss or government official succeeds, we often say that it is a "team effort." When a project fails, we often look to the top dog and ask, "Who do we blame; who do we fire!"
Lord, it seems that we also are more afraid than ever these days to "stick our necks out," to offer our help when a project or an activity is faltering. Perhaps we are afraid others will think we are "horning in." Perhaps we think we will be criticized for being a "know it all." Perhaps we don't have "the courage of our convictions," and doubt our own abilities. And, perhaps the ones in charge of the project just simply won't take suggestions and/or accept help.
Heavenly Father, may we today do the best we can within our own work, offer our expertise where others need help - and be ready and willing to accept the suggestions of helping hands when they are offered.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
