Reflection and Renewal: Isolation (based on Luke 9:24)

God,

You've created us for community and connection.  Yet we sometimes resist your call to change our hearts and allow a deepening of relationship.

We sometimes nurse our wounded hearts and withhold forgiveness that could transform relationships. Fear for our own security sometimes leads us to close our hearts to those who are in need.

When we keep getting it wrong, we need your grace and forgiveness. Thank you that your mercy is bottomless and limitless. Help us to mirror how you give and receive love; sacrificially.

Amen
