Hello friends,
As seasons change this weekend and the world continues to challenge us, here is Rev. Darrell Goodwin’s beautiful Lenten prayer, with love and care:
God of mercy and justice, we come before You in this Lenten season marked by ashes, by repentance, by truth-telling.
We confess that we are a world at war, nations rage, and communities are fracturing.
Neighbors turn on neighbors, and the cries of the innocent rise to heaven.
Forgive us, O God.
Forgive our silence when violence speaks too loudly.
Forgive our comfort with injustice, our distance from suffering, our failure to see Your image in every human life.
In this season of return, turn us again toward You.
Where there is hatred, sow in us love.
Where there is fear, plant courage.
Where there is despair, kindle hope that refuses to die. more>>
Traveling together,
Sam
