Availability

"Here am I. Send me!"

— Isaiah 6:8

Father,

My life is so full, my schedule so packed, that I have no room for the unexpected, for opportunities that arise, for people who need me.

Teach me availability. To keep free spaces in my life, not to plan everything to the point of having no margin. To be ready to respond when You call or when someone needs me.

May I say "here I am" rather than "I don't have time." May my availability be a gift I offer: to You, to others, to the life that wants to surprise me.

Amen.

Reflection

Does your schedule have empty spaces or is it saturated? How could you create more availability in your life?

For those who are overwhelmed and have lost their availability.
