Reflection

Prayer

Living God,

Give us the agility to be innovative as we seek new ways of flourishing in a volatile, ever-changing world. Strengthen our resolve to accept necessary risks at the necessary time, that we may always respond creatively to new circumstances. Help us to foster a positive attitude that can reframe our challenges as opportunities and even blessings in disguise, as we strive to become the people you have called us to be. By your grace, empower us to face every trial with real and lasting joy. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect upon the trials I have faced in the past, and how they are part of the story that make me who I am today. Consider what I need to do to grow in resilience.
