Today’s Reflection: PRAYER FOR HOPE

I know You will never forsake me, God.

I take this moment to spend with You as things around me seem uncertain.

I feel lost and my worries consume me.

But when I close my eyes and quietly think of You, I feel a second of peace.     

 I pray that today, those seconds can become minutes or hours.

That Your peace can drown out my doubts and inspire hope inside of me. Amen   —  Daily TV Mass site

Today’s Reflection: Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love. — Attributed to Sir Francis Drake, c. 1577
