Piloting Faith: Each of us has a practice, a path...
A Word for the Day...
Each of us has a practice, a path, that we discover over a lifetime. It's the path that teaches us wisdom. With every step, every encounter, we are invited to grow into souls awake to our own wholeness. We develop new ways of knowing and being, ones grounded in a more mature, creative energy. When we accept the invitation to our practice and our path, we have more to offer to others with a humility of knowing how much we still long to know.
On this journey, intuition is our guide and friend. Our intuition shows us what is ours to do, ours to learn, ours to become. The most dangerous thing - the most tragic thing - you can do to yourself is to suppress or deny what your intuition has to teach you. When you do that, you rob us of the wisdom it can teach us all.
People may call you crazy. But maybe you're just becoming sane.
- Rev. Cameron Trimble, CEO of the Center for Progressive Renewal
Prayer for the Week
God of all that is good,
When we look around this world, we see great beauty–echoes of
heaven, evidence of every good and perfect gift.
But we also see terrible pain–tragic shootings, broken relationships, abused power,
malnourished children. And so we pray…
May your will be done today, on earth as it is in heaven, and let it
begin with me.
Loving Creator, grant us strength to be instruments of your goodness.
Show us what to do and how to do it.
May your will be done today, on earth as it is in heaven, and let it
begin with me.
Give us, your people, the conviction to do more than just pray
your will be done–as though it were happening outside of us, and
carried out by other people. Let this be our most heartfelt desire
and deepest personal commitment.
May your will be done today, on earth as it is in heaven, and let it
begin with me.
Amen.
