Lent
February 21
PSALM 51:11-18
LUKE 11:29-32
Dear Lord and Father, forgive our foolish
ways. And during this holy season of
Lent, please let us, like those simple
fishermen of so long ago, be willing to
leave our proverbial nets and follow you.
In the world we live in today, there is so much
strain and stress and often we look for easy
answers. And when we do not find simple
solutions to our prayers, it is often far too
easy to lapse into lives of striving and self-
absorption. Father, help us to experience
the deep joy of following you. Of service to
others. Of quiet and deeper reverence. Let
us know the beauty of your peace and of
living lives filled with kindness and love.
Amen.
