Set Sail

There are times when being anchored keeps us safe. Other times, choosing to remain in the same place when there is land ahead will only keep us stuck. It’s important to recognize the necessary actions for where we are. The sailors in this story cut the anchors and left them in the sea. They left behind their safeguard. Because they knew there was something worth exploring. It was worth the risk.

Have you been struggling to cut ties that once kept you safe but now hold you back? Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and direction today. He is full of insight and will lead you with love. Trust his leadership. Trust the pull toward the unknown and yet compelling new land in front of you. You will know if it’s time to remain anchored or set sail.

Holy One, you are full of wisdom. Help me leave behind the comfort of what no longer serves me as I follow you into life’s next chapter.
