Prayerful Friday

 

We wrap up and wind down another week of Morning Meditations as well as the month of February.  I am wondering, what is stirring with you?  We are on the cusp of Lent which begins next Wednesday, March 2.  As you prepare to enter the holy season when we focus on Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we can come back to the questions we asked in January:

What are you searching for?

What is filling the jar/jug of your life?

What is your prayer as we prepare to march into the month of March?

Where do you need healing?

Where do you sense your life flowing or growing or going right now?

What helps you feel most alive?  If Easter is a celebration of new life or renewed life, then the season of Lent should help us prepare our hearts for this mystery through prayerful practices (more on this in the coming days).

 

The beauty of questions like this is we can return to them throughout the year hearing new details we may not have noticed when we first pondered the question in January.  I hope you are journaling your thoughts on these questions, because you can look at them after Easter and in the middle of June and next September.

 

May God’s love that meets us in all times and places, especially right here and now, guide your meditations and movements and all the ways you are exploring the art project called, “Your Life” in these days.  Amen.
