Find or create an image of water describing where you are on your faith journey. Is it rough and choppy? Calm and peaceful? Bubbling and flowing? Slow and stagnant? | @sanctifiedart
WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself in prayer. Pray to God using this template: “God, thank you for_______. God, rescue me from _______.”
DAILY QUESTION Jesus tells Peter, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid” (Mt. 14:22-33). Where in your life do you need courage?
PRAYER Loving God, sometimes it feels easier to trust you than to trust myself. I doubt my ability to make a difference. I doubt my ability to speak clearly or to follow you consistently. I swim laps in the deep waters of my own self-doubt. So today I pray: when those narratives begin to howl, remind me that before my doubt learned to speak, you were calling me good. Drain that pool of doubt that I swim in and invite me once more to stand. Amen.
