Reflection

“Grace means that all of your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame.” –Brené Brown

Prayer

Redeeming God,

Most of us are not so haughty as to easily forget or overlook our mistakes. We are sincerely concerned that the things we’ve done wrong can somehow be made right, and that your mission and purpose for us will be more and more realized through our words and our deeds. May it be so today. As a community gathered in prayer, help us learn to let go of our shame and more freely receive your transforming grace. For the sake of our healing, and for the success of your mission, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

What shame-filled baggage do I need to let go of today? Consider how my freedom from shame releases me to serve others better.
