Reflection

“Courage isn’t having the strength to go on – it is going on when you don’t have strength.”
~ Napoleon

Prayer

God of courage,

We live in a world full of challenges that so often seem to threaten to overwhelm us. We continue to battle a global pandemic, continue to struggle for racial justice, continue to care for the planet, and continue to confront the difficulties and sorrows that are perhaps known to us alone. Perhaps now more than ever, we need the gift of your courage, a courage that can help us to face the issues that surround us. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might turn to you in moments of trial. May we have the strength to face our challenges with faith and hope in you. We pray in God’s name. Amen.
