Invocation 

God of new ways and new roads, pull us out of our ruts. Jolt us out of our old patterns. Give us eyes to see a better way and the courage to embrace those that we can’t fully imagine, but know deep in our bones.  Open us to the movement of your Spirit and call us forth to bravely blaze a new trail toward wholeness, health, universal love and compassion.  AMEN

Contemplate Change

Change can be scary, but it is also necessary.

When have you experienced change that you at first resisted, but eventually found to be beneficial?
