You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit. – John 15:16 (RSV)
Change marks each of our lives. Making a change can involve stepping into a place towards which we believe God is calling us. It also can mean stepping out of a particular role and pointing one's feet towards a new place – a new stage of life.
Prayer
God, what is Your will for me right now? Please make it clear and enable me to take action at the right time.
Quote
"Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." In this we pray, not that God should be able to do as He wills – for who can resist God to keep Him from doing as He wills? Rather, we pray that we may be able to do as God wills. Since we are hindered by the devil from obeying with our thought and deed God's will in all things, we pray, asking that God's will may be done in us." // St. Cyprian of Carthage (200 - 258 AD)
Reflection
Is there a direction towards which you are being prompted? Pray for clear guidance. Take courage. Step away, or step towards the place you perceive God is calling you.
