Night Prayer 

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Inspiration 

Most of us don’t give ants much consideration. We view them as pests to be swept aside or crushed when they show up in inconvenient times and places. But if we observe their actions, we see not only that ants are tireless workers who accomplish a great deal, but that they do so by working together in community to accomplish even greater things than each could do on their own.

Prayer 

God, I never cease to be amazed by the complexity and wonder of Your creation. Even the ants reveal Your thoughtfulness. Thank You for turning my attention to them, so that I may learn from them. Lord, help me to use my gifts to serve You and Your kingdom. And help me to maintain unity with my brothers and sisters in Christ so that we may do great things together for Your name’s sake. In Jesus’ name, amen.
