Through Stained Glass: Advent Word-a-Day 3 -- Courage

 

The first photo was shared by a parishioner who navigated this tight space at Pinnacles National Park. I can see why they chose it for 'courage.'

Tonight, I pray you have the courage to take flight. 

 Or And 

 To shed whatever you’re carrying around that you’ve outgrown. 

 Or And 

 To find the courage to risk setting out on a new adventure. 

 Or And 

 To trust yourself and believe that God loves you exactly as you are. 

 Or And 

 To muster up even the tiniest ounce of courage to finally sing your song. 

 Or And 

 To be courageous enough to rest, basking in the delight of God. 

 Or And 

 To have the courage to expand your wings and see the possibility of what is.

 Or And 

To courageously welcome life’s challenges, obstacles, and hardships and welcome the wisdom they all bring. 

 Or And 

 To demonstrate courage in acknowledging where you were wrong, to ask for forgiveness, and especially courage to forgive. 

 Or And 

 To summon the courage to engage in courageous conversations, sharing, and, most importantly, listening. 

 Or And 

 To not compare your courage to others and to move through the day with patience, humility, and compassion. 

 Or And 

 The courage to be You. 

 That’s my prayer. 

 May it rise, raising us on the wings of Eagles.

Always be yourself

Growing, falling, becoming

Have courage — unfold
