In light of what I considered this week, what are the:
Decisions I need to make?
Actions I need to take?
Things I can no longer tolerate?
Ideas and areas I should nurture and develop?
Things I’m grateful for?
My thoughts on what these decisions will mean for my future?
Lord God, it takes wisdom to know where to set boundaries and when to take risks. I pray specifically for the relationships I am in—my children, my friends, and my community connections. Which do you see that I need to revise? Lord, teach me to always love. But some relationships take too much time and effort and distract me from what I am called to do for You. I need Your wisdom to help me see them. I want to be brave for You. You did not call us to be fearful or complacent. You called us to serve You through serving people. Show me my ministry, give me a glimpse of my new life, and give me a vision of the risks I need to take. Help me know when to be still and when to move forward and take risks.
Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.”
—Proverbs 1:20–23 ESV
