Even In Our Fear, We Are Called Forward

Sometimes saying “yes” to God’s call fills us with fear. We fear, just like Mary and Jeremiah, that we aren’t enough. That we’ll be alone. That no one will listen. And yet, God calls us forward, inviting us to live fully into who we are created to be and promising to be with us as we move forward through our fear, every step of the way. Too often we talk about bravery and courage in terms of hero narratives or big actions, but every day presents many moments to practice small, quiet acts of courage. May we say “yes” to God, even when our knees shake and our voices tremble.
