Relying on God

Today’s Reflection

Dealing with the possibility of getting stuck recognizes an important tension in living with purpose. On one hand, we trust that God is leading us to a purpose that focuses on our gifts, abilities, and interests. . . .

On the other hand, we allow God to lead us to places where we have to utterly depend on God. Following God’s direction means attempting challenges that can succeed only with God’s help.
