I hope you took some time to read over the prayer I left with you last week. I would like to start these several days of posts with two questions.

First, which pair(s) in the prayer stand out to you the most? And Second, why do you think that is?

If you don’t have the prayer in front of you, you can find it here.

Another way of framing the question might be, “Where is the energy in the prayer for you?”

As you think about those questions, I offer the closing lines of the prayer to take into your day –

Gentle God,
during this season of fasting and feasting,
gift us with your presence
so we can be a gift to others in carrying out your work.

Amen.
