Scripture: ...let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. (Hebrews 12:1b)

Reflection: As we go through life, we must keep in mind that our purpose and calling are distinct to us. It's vital to concentrate on our individual strengths and abilities rather than comparing ourselves to others. If a work assignment doesn't align with our strengths or purpose, it's sometimes wise to decline it. Discernment is required to determine which projects are worth pursuing to challenge ourselves and which are not. At the end of the day, our role is to address and take action on our organization's goals and challenges, so that must always take precedent.

Prayer: Dear God, please help me to focus on my own race and not compare myself to others. Give me wisdom to discern which projects are aligned with my strengths and purpose, and the courage to say no to those that are not. Help me to trust in your plan for my life and find contentment in the journey. Amen.

Get into Action: Take some time to reflect on your strengths and purpose. Are there any tasks or projects in your life that don't align with these? Consider saying no to those tasks and focus on the ones that will help you finish well.
