Take a Moment Prayer : Week of March 30
Precious Lord, Lent can seem like such a depressing time to me as I think about the last days of your life and the manner in which you died. I want to push through Lent and get to Easter morning when we celebrate your resurrection. Yet, I know this is a time set aside to decide to rid myself of brokenness, bad habits, grudges…all kinds of negative stuff from my past…and grasp a hold of the freedom and joy my Savior offers me. I ask you now, to help me to do that. I try to do it all on my own…but sometimes my memories and my feelings just won’t let go. Walk with me and show me what I need to do to walk through those things that trap me and distract me from all the good that you have in mind for me. Send your Spirit to change my attitude about this season and embrace the opportunities that bring the hope that it offers me. And help me to examine these things not only during Lent…but all the days of my life when I feel challenged. Thank you for the good I know you have in store for me. Amen.

“Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord; his appearing is as sure as the dawn; e will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3)
As some of you may know, Don and I enjoy spending time in the beautiful sunroom of our house. It is our favorite room in the house. Our cat, Marvin also has claimed it as his favorite place to sleep and watch birds and squirrels play in the yard. It is a beautiful space where we can talk with each other, rest and watch the beauty of the seasons go by day by day. Don and I usually use the space in the morning to have a cup of coffee and do our daily devotions. Many times when I work from home, even though I have a room that is my home office, I work in the sunroom. It’s a peaceful space that fosters creativity and productivity.
