Reflection

“In another world it is otherwise, but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.” –John Henry Newman

Prayer

Eternal God,

We know that change is the only constant in life. Yet we also face times when the speed and scale of transition can be near overwhelming. Arrest us, Lord, in precisely those moments. Help us to stop… breathe… and remember… You hold every season in your hand. You have appointed a time for every one of your purposes. Comfort us in that knowledge, restore the sense of our freedom, and grace us to grow in perfection through the changes you give. Amen.

Call to Action

What changes am I facing in my life right now? Ask God to show me where and how I am being called to grow and develop, asking for help to let go of the rest.
