Reflection

“Some things cannot be spoken or discovered until we have been stuck, incapacitated, or blown off course for awhile. Plain sailing is pleasant, but you are not going to explore many unknown realms that way.” –David Whyte

Prayer
God who sees all,

We know your plans for us are good and true. Yet setbacks and diversions can also make us question the direction we’re heading. Build our trust and dependence on you in such moments. Send us friends and partners who can support us in our various journeys. Help us be open to new discoveries that may be waiting for us, if only we are willing to work with your grace and grow through the changes. For all those who are especially gripped by doubt or fear today as they face the unknown, send us to accompany them with a spirit of compassion and peace. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect on a time when I thought I had lost direction or experienced feeling “stuck.” What I learn through that experience?
