Reflection

“The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.” –Tacitus

Prayer

God of life,

We know the life of faith involves risk, yet we often find reasons to hunker down and remain in our respective zones of comfort. Give us courage instead to step out more. Lead us to become more like Peter your disciple, who followed your voice and walked on water. Yes, may we follow the examples of all of those who stand out in our ministry’s history, risking their own sense of safety and security, so that your compassionate ministry could freely reach those most in need. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there an area of my life where I feel “stuck” by an unhealthy attachment to my comfort
and security?
