Day 6 of Lent and Choosing Hope

Lenten Prayers and Scripture

DAY 6

"Be Holy, for I, the Lord, your God, am Holy."
Leviticus 19:2
___________________

Father Lord,
You made us all to be Holy and we are grateful for your faithfulness.
Though we are little more than dust, you made us to be a splendor of Your Glory. May we see the smallness in ourselves and the greatness that is only found in You.
Holy Lord of all...may all who love you, simply stand in awe.
In His name,
Amen
********************
Choose HOPE!!
We experience worry and stress in so many aspects of our lives...
Is this a choice or a unavoidable consequence of dealing with problems in our lives ?
Bad things happen.
To good people.
God Loving people
Honest and caring people.
Bad things just happen.
How we deal with these 'Bad' things are a true measure of our Faith.
Late next week, i will be starting a series of posts, along with the daily Lenten prayers, about WORRY.
*
Here is an overview of that series:
  • Is Worry a Choice?
  • Emotions that cause us to Worry
  • Antidotes to Worry
  • Freedom

I hope you'll join me as we break the chains of stress and worry and learn to experience true FREEDOM.

Happy Monday!

  2. Looking forward to the series on hope Jill! Love that idea. I will never forget when we were at a doctor appointment after Heydon's surgery and a full recovery was not looking likely... the doctor said, "There is always hope." Every time I hear the word, I always think of that moment. ♥
