By Spiritual Formation Ministries

Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also.

Where am I willing to follow you, Jesus?
Into the hearts of the lonely?
The homes of the suffering?
The street corners of the abandoned?
The tables of my enemies?

Where am I willing to follow you, Jesus?
Into the way of reconciliation?
Down the path of forgiveness?
On the road of mercy?
Through the doors of justice?

Where am I willing to follow you, Jesus?
Where I most want to go?
Where I least want to go?
Where I know I need to go?
Where I resist seeing you?

Where am I willing to follow you, Jesus?

Prayer Phrase

Courage

Spiritual Practice

Breathe deeply and repeat the word “courage” in the silence. Notice how you respond in body, mind, and spirit. Practice the feeling of spiritual strength, of stretching beyond what is comfortable and familiar. Bless the feelings that are evoked. Breathe again. Trust that you have everything you need to follow the Spirit in the places where courage is required today.
