After hearing Rev. Andy MacBeth speak poignantly in a church class about the need for finding a middle ground between our reflections and our actions–so that we act carefully and follow up on reflections with action–my task in the group was to close the class with prayer. Not knowing what to say, I found myself saying this:
Dear God,
Help our reflections to be reflected in our actions, and
Help our actions to be reflections of our reflections.
Amen.
