Reflection

“It is worth living long enough to outlast whatever sense of grievance you may acquire.”
~Marilynne Robinson

Prayer

Forgiving God,

As human beings we often find ourselves in difficult situations and relationships that bring us grief, hardship and pain. We can tend to hold on to our grievances much longer than we should, even while knowing that letting go would free us to be authentic and real with others.  Guide us in moving beyond any past grievances we may have with someone, so that we can all grow and experience the grace of freedom in the truest sense of the word. With your help, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Am I holding onto a grievance that I need to settle in order to be free?  If so, make a phone call, and let freedom ring!
