Help me to journey beyond the familiar
My dad had these prayer cards on his table when I vistited at Christmas and he read one every night before we had a meal together. I particularly liked this one from an early Irish saint named St. Brendan of Clonfert (aka St. Brendan the Navigator). He lived in the 5th/6th centuries.
“Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown. Give me the faith to leave old ways and break fresh ground with You. Christ of the mysteries, I trust You to be stronger than each storm within me. I will trust in the darkness and know that my times, even now, are in Your hand. Tune my spirit to the music of heaven and somehow, make my obedience count for You.”

Thank you for sharing. Sometimes it feels difficult to leave old habits and transition to new, though our journey of faith teaches otherwise. Thank you for sharing this as we continue on a journey of faith and grace.
