Set Your Mind on Things Above

Sunday, August 30, 2026 · Ordinary Time

Scripture Reading

Colossians 3:2

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Reflection
Paul does not say the earthly things are unimportant — our daily lives matter. But what we fix our minds on shapes how we see everything else. When we orient ourselves toward the eternal, the temporary finds its proper proportion. Begin today by deliberately setting your attention on what is true, good, and lasting.
Prayer for Today
Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can't seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you've laid out for me. I trust your Love God, and know that you will heal this stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night. Please bring me clarity with the light of God.
In your name I pray,

Amen.
