Take a Moment Prayer: Week of April 14

Look for this prayer each week. Take time to pray it each day and know that your church family is saying this prayer too.

You are the joy of my life, O Lord. Waking up every morning to your glorious presence welcoming me to the day gives me peace…assuring me that this will be a good day. I know I do not need to fear what today or tomorrow will bring because you are by my side every day. But you know me...even better than I know myself, Lord, and you know anxiety and fear can unexpectedly arise within me and get the best of me. Help me if I should be overcome by painful or distracting circumstances that hide your presence from me right when I need you most. Lead me this day in all your ways. Amen.

The Pastor's Pen - January 2024

We should come away from Christmas reminded that Jesus came into this world so that things could be different. He did not come so that we could have a holiday including time off from work or school, presents, cookies, lots of other food and time with friends and family. The story of Jesus does not end at the stable. Jesus grows up and becomes our teacher and example for how God calls us to live.
