New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve

Reflection

“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.” —Karen Kaiser Clark

Prayer

Empowering God,

With a new year dawning tomorrow, we are naturally led to think about what kinds of changes await us and what the new year will bring. Encourage us to reverse that sense of anticipation and focus instead on the areas of growth that we each plan to work on, with attention and focus. May we be inspired not just to suffer the changes that come, but to pursue our growth and development actively and deliberately, across every dimension of our lives together—spiritually, emotionally, physically. In pursuit of greater health and well-being, for ourselves as well as the communities we serve, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

What aspects of my life and work am I committed to growing in? Make a few specific, and also realistic, notes about those areas of development.
