Lenten Devotional by Helen Draper

March 22, 2017

 

No Matter who you are or

where you are on life’s journey,

       you are welcome here.

              —United Church of Christ

 

Dear God,

 

In these challenging times, help us to live by these important words.  Please guide each of us to find the best way to contribute to Your vision for our world.

 

Lead us to be kind, gentle, and open to our brethren who do not respond as we hope they will.  If we are inclined to respond actively, help us appreciate the inner strength of our more quiet brothers and sisters.  If we lean toward a more solemn approach, help us express gratitude for our more expressive friends.

 

Help us ensure that our words do not hurt or judge our loved ones, but contribute to creating as safe sanctuary for all feelings and perspectives in these troubling times.

 

We ask for the strength to handle whatever challenges come our way and thank You for the many blessings in our lives.

 

Amen
