In the midst of all the uncertainty in our world … I’ve been thinking a lot about the universal and gentle spirit of Jesus. I … and maybe you, too … lean on this a lot. This is our prayer for this week … it comes from my heart.
“Thank-you, Jesus, for being my friend … my inspiration. That spiritual nudge I need everyday — to get through wherever my journey takes me. I picture you walking the streets of Galilee. Your strength, your humility, your grace. I know I can’t “walk” in your sandals, but I know your sandals walk with me and in me. In my lowest moments, you lift me up. You hold me and embrace me, and even cry with me. There are those “alleluia” moments … when I can walk with a sense of purpose, and feel the joy and strength your spirit brings into my life. Jesus, you gave it all. You sacrificed and died for us. And now? … we are the human vessels in which your spirit lives. Help me garner the strength and quiet courage to give unto others from the very heart-and-soul of who I am. I’ll do my best. Thanks for being my friend —- amen.” Peace to all — Don
