Lent 03.18.24
Teach me about mercy, about open hands and deep breaths.
Teach me about the dawn of time and the stars in the sky.
Teach me what matters most.
Teach me what is mine to do.
Teach this achingly curious heart
until I run out of questions
or I run out of days.
—from the poem “Teach Me” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart
WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself through journaling. Spend a few minutes writing about the joys and concerns on your heart.
DAILY QUESTION Where in your life are you hungry to be a student? What would you like to learn more about?
PRAYER Holy God, on my worst days, I can live like I have all the answers. On my best days, however, I know that there is more I have to learn—about myself, about you, and about my neighbor. Show me how to be a student again. Pull back the curtain on my complacency so that in every interaction I am looking for ways to learn. And if there is a particular area you want me to grow, place that passion in my heart. With hope, I pray. Amen.
