Saturday after Ash Wednesday

Posted by Joel VandenBrink under
Father,
look upon our weakness
and reach out to help us with your loving power.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, you Son
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Reading:Isaiah 58: 9b-14; Psalm 86: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6; Luke 5: 27-32
My dear father,
I am not asking to overcome my weakness,
but to use it in some way to glorify you.

Let me be aware of
the many ways you reach out to help me today
and let me stand in awe of the power
that you use in such loving ways.

peace

joel

Joel, I offer a quote to you from Francois Mauriac,”If you would tell the heart of a man,tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads.” From Light From Heaven by Jan Karon
Love to you and Brooke, and sorry about the Ipod. Dogs will be dogs. Mom
