The season of Light (Epiphany) concludes and the Season of Prayer (Lent) begins. Psalm 25 is both a poem and a prayer. In many congregations, it will be read this coming Sunday, the first Sunday of Lent.
Each day this week, a few verses of the Psalm will be offered for your prayer, your reflection, your wonderings. You might keep it with you throughout the day. Is there a different prayer that comes forth for you from these words in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening?
Psalm 25 verses 1 and 2
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.
Reflecting on the every day, practical dimensions of faith. Practices to shape our lives each day as followers of Christ. Stories to share our practical experiences of wisdom, faith, hope, and love.
Plain and simple talk with God. It depends on where you find yourself at any point in the day....me? I when I open my eyes in the a.m....I like "O my God, in you I trust" ...start the day anxiety free....or somewhat anxiety free...but then again, it depends....
