Lent 2013 Cover     Leviticus 25:1-19

Question for reflection:
In what ways do we take time to contemplate how our busyness, practices, commitments and routines fit into God’s “big picture?”

Prayer for the day:
God, fill our hearts to make space to receive from you. Replenish and restore us so that we are able to serve. Amen.

 

~ Stan Dueck, Director for Transforming Practices

A Community of Love  Jeremiah 30:12-22

Prayer for the Day:
Loving and Gracious Father – I so appreciate you!  Help me to recognize the unworthy state of my heart this day, despite my waywardness.  Thank you for saving me out of a distant place . . . .You are relentless to restore that heart into relationship with you.  What are you saying to me?  Give me ears to hear what you are revealing. Continue to grow my capacity for appreciation  . . .  and joy.

Question for reflection:
In what ways has God affirmed your relationship recently?
