Lent 02.23.24
Peter had a wandering heart. Jesus was always there to catch Peter, to walk beside him, to wash his feet, and to offer love. In Peter’s story, we find Jesus. Peter’s wandering faith ebbed and flowed, pushed away and pulled close. But he was always tethered to the love of God.

WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself in silence. Sit in the quiet for 5 minutes. Allow your thoughts to pass by like a stream. Be still and listen.
DAILY QUESTION Peter doubted that he was worthy of Jesus’ presence. What helps you remember and hold onto your self-worth?
PRAYER Gracious God, scripture is full of stories where you call ordinary people to do extraordinary things. In a world that often tells us to hustle and fight for our self-worth, that truth causes me to pause. Is it possible that you could be calling me just like you called Peter? Remind me that my worth is not rooted in the things of the world. My worth is rooted in you. Make me brave enough to trust it. Amen.
