Reflection Questions:

Do we seek out people who can help us listen for the power of the Spirit to guide us at all times or do we only surround ourselves with people who will tell us what we want to hear?

Prayer:

Lord, we join together in prayer today, presenting before you those ideas and desires that we hold most dear. We ask, O Lord, that if they are from you that you increase our desire and give us the courage to take the first step. If they are not from you, Most Gracious God, remove these desires from us. Give us people in our lives to help us to discern your way and your will so we can bring all honor and glory to you, Precious Lord. Amen.
