My Empty Cup

Reflect

The world’s stresses have emptied our compassion cups and left us feeling hollow. Most of us are suffering from burnout.


Pray

Dear God, I confess I am burned out right now.
My compassion cup is empty;
patience is in short supply.

I want to love your people and care for them.
I want to do your will with a generous spirit, but I can’t do it by myself.
Please refill my empty heart with your compassion, generosity,
and strength;
replenish my enthusiasm and love.

Amen.


Act

Picture God refilling an empty cup from a pitcher of his strength and goodness. Imagine drinking from the cup and feeling renewed.
