From Shore to Shore
INDEPENDENCE DAY (U.S.)
Saturday’s Reflection
FROM SHORE TO SHORE
Let God’s praise be sung.
From mountain highs to valleys low
Let the echo of praise resound.
From the mouths of children and the prayers of saints
Let thanksgiving abound.
- Larry James Peacock

Nurturing Spiritual Leadership
Friday’s Reflection
SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP is simply the sharing of the presence of God as that presence is experienced, noticed, and named — a process that occurs through the prayer life of the leader. … As Christ lives in you, he leaders and guides you in whatever way is appropriate for your state of being. As this [...]
Send Us The Christ
Thursday’s Reflection
IN PEACE let us pray to the Lord: Grant us a spirit of knowledge, O Lord, that we may learn to live in harmony with one another. Give us a spirit of wisdom that righteousness may flourish and peace abound. Give us a spirit of counsel and understanding that we may glorify you for [...]
Blessing Others
CANADA DAY
Wednesday’s Reflection
BLESSING ANOTHER in the name of God is a powerful act [Numbers 6:24-26]. Bidding God’s face to “shine upon” others is asking God to turn toward them and work for their good. When we “put God’s name on” someone, we do something important. Think of those you know who need God’s help. Write [...]
Releasing All to God’s Heart
Tuesday’s Reflection
I FIND THAT FOR ME, the most direct way to healing, transformation, and guidance is to give explicitly to God’s heart each bodily pain, each wave of anger or fear, each embarrassment, each perplexity, each inner confusion, each person for whom I pray. I know God’s heart will take what is offered, hold it, [...]
Too Busy to Hear
Monday’s Reflection
SO EARNESTLY BUSY with anxious, fevered efforts for the Kingdom of God have we been, that we failed to hear the knock upon the door, and to know that our chief task is to open that door and be entered by the Divine Life.
- Thomas Kelly
The Sanctuary of the Soul

The Therapy of Lament
Sunday’s Reflection
JEWS AND CHRISTIANS have a practice that provides “therapy” when the storm clouds roll in and we’re grieving loss beyond repair. This practice is called “lament.” To lament means to “express sorrow or to mourn out loud.” The practice of lament gives you time and permission to vent your pent-up anger, your deep sadness, [...]
A Different Perspective
Saturday’s Reflection
TO VIEW REALITY from a slightly different perspective often yields a view of things totally unlike what they appeared to be. If we take just a couple of steps in another direction, what we view as reality is often profoundly changed.

Gifts from God
Friday’s Reflection
GOD IS THE ONE who, as Deuteronomy 8:18 says, gives us “power to get wealth.” Anything we posses is ours because God has graciously allowed us to have it. This flies in the face of our culture’s prattling about personal power and self-development, where we make ourselves into what we want to be. … [...]
A Source of God’s Mercy
Thursday’s Reflection
ABBA, help me to be a source of your mercy.
Teach me to forgive others
before I seek forgiveness for my own actions.
Grant me the courage
to extend your love
to the stranger and the needy.
Amen.
- Christopher Maricle
