A Call to Pray
In a recent conversation with a friend, we both agreed. This has been a challenging and difficult year, an unexpected journey into unknown and uncomfortable spaces. For must of us, this kind of uncertainty causes great stress. Our vision clouds over forming a lens that projects most clearly the worse possibilities.
In this season, I am feeling an ever increasing need to sit at Jesus’ feet and seek His face. Reflecting on that, I was reminded of Mathew 26:39-42. In a season of great stress, Jesus withdrew to pray, and He called His disciples to watch and pray. Why? Not to remove the source of the stress nor to make the way clearer, but so they would not fall into temptation.
With that in mind, I am setting aside Thursday morning as a day of prayer and of seeking the Lord. In preparation of that time, I have been carving out time to worship and to examine my heart. I wrote a short reflection guide and will include a link. If its helpful for you, please use it as you have time. Or, you may want to carve some space for yourself over the next few days and work through each section.
