Reflection

“A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.” –Grace Hopper

Prayer

God of our journeys,

So often you call us, out of the harbors of safety and into uncharted waters. It can be hard to follow that call, whether in our personal lives or in the organizations that we form together. And yet we have seen and believed that it is better by far to answer your call, stay close to your voice, and let you lead the way. Therefore, we ask you: lead us. May we always remember that our safety depends not on the stability of the familiar, but on our constant pursuit of who you made us to be. Amen.

Call to Action

Are there any fears holding me back from really following the calling I have received? Take time today to reflect on that question, and commit to doing something about it.
