ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
A Thought to Ponder:
“Whoever bids folks to do right, but
gives an evil example by acting the
opposite way is like a foolish weaver
who weaves quickly with one hand
and unravels the cloth just as
quickly with the other.”
St. Thomas More

Be With Me, Lord – As we begin our Lenten journey we take upon ourselves those traditional disciplines of prayer,
fasting and almsgiving/good works in order that we might be opened, freed from any attachment to sin and ever more
trusting in God’s grace. We know that Lent is not always easy. With the best of intentions and with firm resolve, we de-
vote ourselves to doing without something or increasing time spent in prayer or doing works of charity. Yet, the tempta-
tions also seem to increase that seeks to draw us back into our old ways. The goal of our Lenten journey is not simply
that we have more time spent in prayer or less time spent doing those things that keep us from God. Rather, we must also
work hard during Lent to incorporate faith into every aspect and every moment of our life. One helpful practice is to
have short phrases of Scripture or from our heart that become prayers throughout our day. Whether it is saying “Thank
you, Jesus” as we recognize the countless moments he is at work for us, or the refrain from today’s psalm, “Be with me,
Lord,” when we recognize we cannot do it alone, we will draw closer to the Lord as we seek to be strengthened and play
our part in building up His Kingdom. Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.
