Dear friends, as we continue our way through this holy season of Lent, it feels vitally important to me that we pause to grieve and honor the losses of this past year. In mid-March, church, and life as we knew it came to a screeching halt, and we will never be the same. Our theme for Lent is healing – and in the journey of healing, there is grieving. Pray this prayer with me this season... and know that we will always be different, but we will also carry on as Christ’s beloved.

I came across this prayer in a book I was reading while traveling to Puerto Rico on a mission trip... it touched me then, in so many ways, and still does.

Don’t we all find ourselves getting irritated or discouraged at times? There are so many things that disrupt our days, our weeks, our minds, our hearts. So... what? How do we find our way?
