Reflection

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

Prayer

God of life,

You showed us and told us that the life of faith entails risk. Yet we often find excuses to hunker down and remain in our usual zones of comfort. Give us courage instead, as people and as a ministry, to step out in faith and to trust that you will guide us to greatness, even through unfamiliar terrain. As we take inspiration from the leaders before us, may we be as willing to surrender our desire for safety for the success of your mission. Amen.

Call to Action

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