soar

Opening Prayer: Thank you, O Lord, that you desire us to soar.  Forgive us when we refuse your invitation because we are afraid to leave the comfort and security of the nest.

Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-31

Journal: How is God inviting you to soar?  What does soaring look like?  What does it take to get there?  What will it require you to leave behind?

Reflection:

                soar

come to the edge of the nest

hear the invitation of God

receive his gentle push

leave the safety and security

of what you have known

and take the leap into

the vast unknown

soar into the heavens

on the winds of his breath

take flight and become

all you were created to be

Pray

Closing Prayer: O Lord, do not let insecurity and fear keep me from taking you up on your invitation to fly.  New life always requires a leap of faith.  Give me the courage and the strength and the grace to take that leap, whatever it may look like.
