Today’s prayer for Lent…
GOD, I am just too busy. Â Too many people, too many questions, too much to do. Â We confess we stay busy because we fear acknowledging our emptiness. Â How amid this busyness do we rest? Â How do we worship you? Â Please create space, which may be other people, to make time, our time, serve you. Â Force us to rest through the activity of prayer so that all our loves and fears might be made perfect in you. Â Help us see how such busy service, if it is service, may be just the rest we need — just the worship we need. Â Finally, and most importantly, save us from false ambition. Â Â AMEN.
— Stanley Hauerwas,  from his book, .
As is our custom, take tomorrow to reflect on the week and to reflect on the teaching and worship of your church.
Peace, Jim
