Bible reading:
Reflection
Pilgrim
by Dom Helder Camarawhen your ship,
long moored in harbour, gives the illusion
of being a house;
when your ship
begins to put down roots
in the stagnant water by the quay: put out to sea!
save your boat's journeying soul and your own pilgrim soul,
cost what it may.
As you begin this journey exploring how God might be calling you further into mission, make time to reflect on where you are in your walk of faith; identify any parts of your life that are perhaps too-safe harbours or even stagnant waters, areas where God might be calling you on to new things and fresh encounters with him and with others.
Prayer
Father, lead me deeper in my journey with you
cost what it may.
By your grace, may I be prepared to put out to sea
to leave the safety of the harbour, and to follow your call
cost what it may.
Amen
