How has your Lenten journey been going? Hit any snags or having any unexpected life experiences?
A good friend, Jeannie Waller Harper, posted something on her Facebook page that I would like to share...
Be still, and know that I am God
Be still, and know that I am
Be still, and know
Be still
Be
~Psalm 46:10
Today, no matter what comes your way... good or bad... may you know God's peace in your heart.

Day 17... The Lenten Journey Continues...
One of them, an expert in the Law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
~Matthew 22:35-40
Do all the good you can,
By all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
~John Wesley
As you reflect back on how today has gone, how have you done in the categories of loving God and loving others?

Day 13... The Lenten Journey Continues... A Prayer of Self Denial...
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
~Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
A prayer for this day in Lent:
Dear God, my number one problem is me. I have embraced a false self that tries in every way to tell me that I am in control - and even more dangerously, tells me not to trust you but rather to trust my own alleged righteousness. I am ashamed at how many times I have listened to the voice of the false self instead of your voice.
Today, I deny that false self and ask that you would renew a right spirit within me, a self that attends to you and lives accordingly. Especially today, I ask that I might deny the false self in relation to ( ). I am tired of going where it leads me. Instead, lead me in paths of righteousness for your name's sake. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen
