Reflection

“The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.” –Tacitus

Prayer

God of life,

We know the life of faith involves risk, yet we often find reasons to hunker down and remain in our zones of comfort. Give us courage instead to step out once more, like Peter your disciple, who followed your voice and walked on water. Yes, may we follow the examples of all of those before us who so boldly answered your call, risking their own sense of safety so that your compassionate ministry could more effectively reach those in need. For the sake of the great things you are eager to do through us today, make us as bold, ready to answer your call. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there an area of my life where I feel “stuck” by an unhealthy attachment to my comfort and security?
