Lent 03.04.24
Today I will tap my toes all the way to heaven’s gates.
Today I will point out every shade of gold and periwinkle that we pass.
Today I will talk about my faith like we talk about the weather—
early and unprompted, comfortable and unashamed.
Today I will tell you that God did such a good job with freckles, willow trees,
and your entire being.
And I will not be embarrassed by my own conviction.
—from the poem “Praise the Mount” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart
WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself in scripture. Read Psalm 25:1-10 a few times through.
DAILY QUESTION In your own words, how would you describe Jesus? Who do you say that Jesus is?
PRAYER Jesus of Nazareth, you are the miracle-maker. You are the host of all, the friend to the sick, the hand in the storm. You are the ribbon on God’s finger and the wind in the air. You are human and God, teacher and friend. If people ask, make sure my voice does not shake. If people ask, give me the courage to say that you are love and love alone. Amen.
