Gracious God, too often I don't think that I'm significant enough or big enough to make much of a difference. There are other voices that are louder. There are others with more power and position. Still others are more outgoing and have larger networks. I forget the mustard seed. I forget the ability of small seeds to grow into large shrubs and trees. I also forget that I have work to do in your kingdom - work that is filled with compassion and provides for those in need. Help me remember, O Lord. Remember and respond. Remember that I do have agency, influence, and resources that are filled with potential to do great things. Empower me to respond by employing what I have in service to you and my fellow humans. Through Jesus Christ, Amen.
