Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Since most of us now have limited contact with others, I virtually greet you with a holy hug!
As we keep our distance and isolate, it becomes increasingly clear that the Lord made us to be in community with one another. Christ’s life was spent in community, even choosing twelve friends to be a part of his inner circle. He only separated himself in prayer and fasting. By humbling himself, he fully surrendered to the Divine Will, asking to be strengthened so he may perfectly fulfill His Father’s plan.
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. Matthew 6:6
We have much to learn from contemplating Christ’s simple yet profound actions. Do you know the Father’s divine will for your life? No matter how you’ve fared with your Lenten plans and promises, it’s not too late to hit the reset button. As we enter into Holy Week, carve out the time and space to fast, pray, read scripture, and fulfill your role within the family. Find the quiet in your day to listen to the Lord, asking Him what his plans are for your life. Living in His will and fulfilling his divine purpose for your life will be the perfect prayer for your family. For when one imitates Christ, the impact reverberates through one’s family and the ripple effect never ends.
I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.John 6:38
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
May your prayers for family reverberate to the heavens! Pass it on!
