Opening Prayer: Your will, O Lord, and not my own. Your life, O God, both in and through
me. Your Kingdom come, O King of
kings. Make me wholly yours. Amen.
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
Journal: Which of these comes easiest for you: rejoice
always, pray continually, or in all things give thanks? Which is the most difficult? Why?
How do you tend the inner fires of God’s Spirit? What area of life is most in need of
attention in order for you to be sanctified through and through? How do you respond to the phrase “He will
do it?” What does that do within
you? Why?
Reflection:
Faith knows no boundaries between the will of God and
all of life. (A Man’s Quest for God by Abraham Joshua Heschel)
We are no more to think
“What should I do?” but “What would the Living One have me do?” ~George
MacDonald
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my
memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according
to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me. ~Ignatius
of Loyola
