Reflection

“Do nothing by self-will but rather conform to heaven’s will, and everything will be done for you.”
–Lao Tzu

Prayer

Always good God,

In your life and teaching, you taught us to seek your kingdom first and its righteousness, insisting we should test you in this. With our priorities straight, everything we are anxious about will sort itself out. It feels like a risky wager, yet we have so many witnesses who confirm the wisdom of this path through life. Free us today to embrace that wisdom more fully. Conform us more to your will, that we might rest in your promise and carry on. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to revisit my priorities. Am I overly concerned with my own needs and wants? How can I keep my eyes on my mission and let go of anxiety?
