Questions

Monday’s Reflection

What is my calling?
Is there something specific I’ve been called to do?

Which path do I take?
There are so many choices.
Which one do I choose?

Is there really One who can guide me,
help me make the right choice?
If God is really out there calling me,
why can’t I hear that voice?

When will I be given a sign?
How do I know when to take a chance?
Can that serenity be mine?
When do I let go, let my heart dance?
— Courtney Thompson, age 20

Prayer: God, there are so many choices in front of me and so many decisions to make! May I feel assurance that you are with me and will guide my path. Amen.
