This is the prayer of Catherine Rohr.
Her story is amazing. At age 26, in a period of 4 months, she gave up her lucrative wall street job and Manhattan apartment to move to the middle of Texas. She invested all of her money and savings and retirement into the program. In the process of her move, her moving van was stolen. By the time she got to Texas, Rohr literally had nothing.
But four years later, she is the CEO of an incredible program. Now 31 year, she manages a multi-million dollar prison retraining program. The program has graduated 400+ felons, retrained them, and helped with their reentry into society and the work force. In an area where the average re-offense rate is over 50%, Rohr's program has a single digit re-offense rate.
Her strategy is simple: Show up in the morning, get your orders, and execute in obedience.
Her question to us: Why is her story "amazing" or "unusual?" Shouldn't we all be executing our orders from God in obedience?
So I ask you: What has God asked you to do that you are afraid of doing? When are you going to obey?
