Lutheran Church of Mahomet, The Invitation 2019 Prayer Invitation (1) | Page 11

losses, and brokenness, we
can sometimes feel alone
and discouraged. But, as
with that moment at the
summer camp beside Lake
Hiawatha, prayer can be a
powerful means of recon-
necting with God and each
other in heartfelt ways.
I told the AGC preschool
kids about how prayer can
connect us, and we prom-
ised each other that we
would say a prayer for
each other whenever we
missed each other. As this
is the last newsletter arti-
cle I’ll be writing for you,
the people of LCM, I will
also invite you to build this
connection into your pray-
er life during Lent. When
you miss me, or anyone who
lives far away or has died, go
ahead and say a prayer. To-
gether, we can trust God to
funnel these prayers into
preserving and strengthen-
ing these friendships, no
matter the distance that
divides.
Christ commanded us to
connect ourselves with
God’s world and God’s peo-
ple, to pray for, serve, and
baptize. God is with us in
this work and will not let us
go it alone. Prayer is just one
way that God reminds us
that we are not alone.
-Pr. Nikoli
