Lent 03.15.24
Life was easy, faith was stable
Then the pathway climbed uphill
Life got harder past the cradle
Jesus Christ I followed still
Thread by thread my faith unraveled
When the way became unknown
Solid ground gave way to gravel
So I cling to Christ alone
—from the hymn "The Way" by Rev. Anna Strickland | @sanctifiedart
WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself through gentle movement. Stretch your body.
DAILY QUESTION When and how have you changed your mind?
PRAYER Holy God, Peter is fixed on the idea that Jesus will live (Mt. 16:21-23). He wants death to be out of the picture, and yet Jesus was fixed on his mission. When I feel like Peter, when I am eager to dig my heels in and declare the hill that I will die on, soften my heart. Remind me that there are times when changing my mind may be a step closer to you. Amen.
