Reflection

“Anxiety is the interest paid on trouble before it’s due.” –William Ralph Inge

Prayer

God our provider,

It makes no sense at all, but we sometimes feel the most anxiety about things we have absolutely no ability to change or, indeed, that can never materialize anyway. Why do we do this? Free us! As creatures called into your freedom, liberate us from this anxiety that can otherwise present us from embodying your love more freely, spreading your abundant life to others around us. Give us courage to face the troubles you permit us to face, while never backing down from your invitation to live life to the full. Amen.
