STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

Elijah recognized the voice of God not in the strong and heavy wind, not in the earthquake, and not in the fire, but in a tiny whispering sound. May we find enough quiet in our clamorous world to hear His voice and discern what He is calling us to do and be.

From today’s Gospel reading: When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea they were terrified. "It is a ghost," they said and they cried out in fear.

Reflection: It doesn’t take much imagination these days to identify with those terrified disciples as we face the deadly storm of the pandemic, with its indiscriminate power to kill, sweeping across our world.

So, we ask ourselves: - Do we feel like those disciples, victims in the pandemic storm’s clutches? - Do we look into the midst of the storm and wonder if Jesus is just a ghost, a product of our fear-driven imagination? - Can we hear him say to us what he said to his frightened disciples, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid."

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - Being Human is to Doubt Humans doubt. It’s what we do. We doubt ourselves and we doubt others. Before any of us say anything about Peter’s doubting the words of Jesus that told him he could get out of his boat and walk on water, we need to get real with ourselves: How would I respond in the same situation? I remember when I was child taking swimming lessons. One day I simply tightened up my muscles and sank. The lifeguard pulled me up and asked what happened. I said I did not know. The truth is that I was sinking under the weight of my own doubt. I did not believe I could do what clearly, I was told I could. That was only in five feet of water in a pool! Now that I’m older, I can look back and laugh. But an adult, the swimming pool is life, and I would be lying if I said that there are no longer times I find myself sinking due to new doubts. Much of our doubt comes about because of a lack of trust in God. We place our trust in material things, wealth, or imperfect people instead of the One who is worthy of our trust 100 percent of the time. Our stewardship is often hampered by our doubt that God will provide all that we need. If I give more, I may not have enough to survive! When we place all our trust in God, not only do we find that we have been given all we need – our doubt that cause us to sink in the pool of life fades away. We don’t suddenly become perfect in our trust, and there will be times when we find ourselves with concerns again. However, it is in those moments we find that He is still there, speaking the words we need to hear: “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” – Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi

Prayer During A Health Crisis

Compassionate and Loving Father, In the face of confusion and concern, impart to us the calm of your presence.

In You allow us to find hope and healing. Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands. Be with those who lead and give them Your Spirit of wisdom. Be with those

who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart. Wrap your arms around our world and hold us in your love. Allow us at this time of trial to then serve as instruments of that love to all we meet. We ask this in Your Name. Amen.
