The Middle of the Year

"This is a day you are to commemorate."

— Exodus 12:14

Lord of time,

Here we are at the middle of the year. Six months behind me, six months ahead. It is a natural moment to take stock, evaluate the path traveled, readjust if necessary.

Thank You for these first six months. For what has been experienced, learned, accomplished. For the joys and also for the challenges that helped me grow.

As I enter the second half of the year, help me continue with intention. To remain faithful to my commitments from the beginning of the year or to readjust them according to what I have learned. There are still six months to create, grow, love.

Amen.

Reflection

Do a real assessment of these first six months: what have you accomplished? What have you learned? What do you want for the next six months?

For all those journeying through this year.
