I pray for the strength to take a stand.

The sad truth is that most evil is done by  people who never make up their minds to be either good or  evil.
--Hannah Arendt

How often have we found ourselves in a  predicament and innocently saying, "How did I get into this?" When someone has  been injured by our actions because we failed to think about them, do we take  the responsibility? If a friend is unfairly treated on the job, do we take a  stand for him? When we know people are starving, what do we do about it? When  our loved ones say they are lonely and wish we would talk to them, how do we  respond?

In this program we have chosen to live by our values. We cannot  sit passively and fail to live up to those values. Each situation is different,  so we must think about what is called for. When we do not think about our  reactions, we are in danger of adding to the evil in the world. When we act upon  our principles, we feel more hopeful and wholesome.

Today, I will be  alert to the difference between good and evil in my actions. I pray for the  strength to take a
stand.
