Some ideas that have helped us...
Covid-19 has been and continues to create difficult times. In early March 2020 we visited Penny’s Mom at her long-term care facility in Michigan. Little did we know that by the time we returned home from that trip that life as we had known would significantly change. Due to COVID-19 society closed; the church we serve went virtual overnight (no small feat). We like you have had to and continue to adapt in many new ways – and change is never easy. Some ideas that have helped us…
Turn to Scripture
Reflecting on scripture is a powerful way to rethink any moment in time. Today we reflect the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 15, Verses 14-16.

Recognize you are the light of the world; the very Power in the Ground of your very Being is God’s Spirit. God’s Spirit is always with you. Know it. God is a powerful life partner that is with us in the best of times and helps us through the darkest moments – like in this moment of COVID-19. So what does that mean? Simply… “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (NRSV, Matthew 5:14-16). Take time to reflect and imagine.

Increase Prayer Life
Our seminary professor Dr. Robert Moore mentioned years ago: “When chaos erupts, increase prayer life.” He was right - prayer helps.
|
In late July 2020, in the midst of the chaos known as the reality of living through COVID-19, Penny sat on our front porch praying to God. The words that became the "Fill Me Prayer" came to her. They are powerful words - and have even helped Bill fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. Today, we share the words of the Fill Me Prayer in our devotional prayer books and journals. We hope they inspire you as they have inspired us.
|
Coming Soon! The Fill Me Prayer Book is a devotional labyrinth art walk prayer experience. A prayer book like no other.
