God is always exciting to set out on a journey...
The thrill of something new, different, to leave behind all our worries and troubles and dirty dishes in the sink.
We look to the excitement of the destination;
The exotic...
The new...
The place where no problems can find us.
But...there is always a but...
The plane is delayed...
The luggage is lost...
Those problems we thought we'd left at home suddenly show up and want to sit right next to us.
Help us as we embark on the season of Lent to view these forty days not as an escape from what is.
Help us be open to the truths we embody,
Those we like and want to share...
And those we prefer would stay quiet in the corner.
We are wonderfully, wholly, and holy made.
You are the ground and grace of our being.
In you we can be intentional, prayerful, and transformed with each step.
Take our hand, precious Lord...
Lend us on...help us stand today and for the forty days to come.
Amen.
