Lent 02.29.24
God is near, not simply because we have doubted, but because we have had the faith to get out of the boat and start walking at the command of Jesus. I believe that God honors us and meets us in our lowest places.
—Dr. Terence Lester (@imterencelester), from his commentary on Matthew 14:22-33 | @sanctifiedart
WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself in prayer. Pray to God using this template: “God, thank you for_______. God, rescue me from _______.”
DAILY QUESTION When Peter begins to sink, Jesus reaches for him immediately (Mt. 14:22-33). What does this tell you about God? About Jesus? About the storms of our life?
PRAYER Holy God, on my worst days I cling to the fact that you reached out immediately. When Peter began to sink, you did not hesitate. Remind me of that truth when I am knee-deep in the swells. You are a God who reaches. Never let me forget it. Amen.
