Reflection of the Week - 22 August 2018

Posted Aug 22, 2018 in Faith

I pause at this moment in my day to come to stillness, the deep stillness of God, I come to seek a deeper wisdom, to listen for the Spirit. I am here. I am quiet.

The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to where I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

Loving Father; who knew me before I was born into this world, Strengthen me; give me boldness to speak Your name, the courage You granted to Jeremiah when You first spoke those words to him. Thankyou for the example of the faithfulness of those saints who have gone before me.

My prayer to You: Your Word to me. My longing for You: Your longing for me. My life in You: Your life in me. Bless me, O God, and send me into this day to love and serve You. Amen.
