We believe in the power of prayer to heal, transform and grant the peace that passes understanding.
James 1:11 reminds us how scorching heat causes plants to wither, and warns us that in the same way, too many pursuits, a life that is too busy, will cause us to wither as well.
Our schedules can be like the burning, searing sun. Our corporate lament is that while we have an increasing number of technological wonders helping us with everything from laundry to communication, we have less and less free time. When free time is forced upon us, as it may be in unemployment and illness, we're filled with worry that withers us.
Lent is a wonderful time to try to reclaim TIME...time for prayer, time for meditation, time for respite, sabbath time. As Spring arrives, take time to consider the lilies of the field and the birds of the air. Savor the simple gifts. Don't feel guilty about this, for God commands this rest, this prayer, this time. Claim what is both a command and a tremendous gift.
