Love, Joy, Peace...
My Intention for this week is...
Morning Prayer for the Week
Good morning, God. Help me to hear your voice today. Enable me to admit the temptations of the world, and support me to resist turning away from your teaching. Awaken me to recognize the gifts you have given to me, and to see the role I can play in healing your creation. Amen.
Evening Prayer
As I come to the end of this day, deepen my faith to hear your word and follow your way. Encourage me to bring all my hopes and desires to you in prayer, that in lifting up my soul to you, I may be shaped by your love. Help me to hear the dialogue of prayer, and to listen in prayer as much as I speak. Amen.
Readings for the Week: Matthew 17:1-9
Questions for Reflection
When have you given power to voices or beliefs that do not reflect the love of God?
What temptations lure you away from following in God’s way? How might you respond to those temptations following the example of Jesus in the wilderness?
What spiritual practices help you listen intently for God’s guidance?
Where do you hear God speaking to individuals in this time? Where do you hear God speaking to the Church in this time?
