4. Coming to terms with my destiny

5. Coming to terms with my destiny “ Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety.”

6. Coming to terms with my destiny “ Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety.” “ Didn’t you know that I have to be about my father’s business?”

7. Coming to terms with my destiny “ Lord, now I can go in peace, for my eyes have seen your salvation.” “ Your child is destined for the rising and falling of many in Israel . . . and a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”

8. Coming to terms with my destiny “ Lord, now I can go in peace, for my eyes have seen your salvation.” “ Your child is destined for the rising and falling of many in Israel . . . and a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”

9. Coming to terms with my destiny “ His mother pondered all these things in her heart.”

10. Lord God, I confess to you that I am often more interested in charting my own destiny rather than seeking your destiny for my life. Forgive me, Lord, for my self-centredness.

12. Help me to take seriously those destinies and to live them out with all the passion and strength you give me.

13. Lord, this coming year is unknown, but you are not. You will walk with me. That’s all I need to know. Amen.
