Reflection

“Funny how you dig yourself into a hole by the teaspoon.” –Lionel Shriver

Prayer

Liberating God,

Some of us are experts at walking our way into trouble. Yet rather than admit to our errors and reach out for help, we grow stubborn and just keep going in a way that leads to more trouble. Help us break such patterns. When circumstances tempt us to dig ourselves into a hole, give us awareness and accountability that we might open a new pathway forward. May we face up to our challenges, welcome the help of colleagues and friends, and take some healthier steps towards wholeness. For our own sake and for the success of those things we’ve been called to be responsible with. Amen.

Call to Action

Resist the temptation “to fake it ‘til I make it.” Be quick to admit where I need help today and find a good resource to keep my work on track.
