We invite you to join one another in a time of prayer Wednesday evenings around 7:00pm. Though we won’t be gathering physically together for Lenten Service or even our typical Wednesday Night Devotions, we can come together wherever we may be (or even on the phone) in a time of prayer remembering God and one another. This can be after supper or before bed or just taking a break at 7:00pm. Feel free to offer your own concerns to God. You may use a portion of Psalm 139 below to get you started.

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. (verses 1-6, ESV)

God knows what is going on with you. He knows your concerns and struggles. He is near.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings on the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. (verses 7-12, ESV)

No matter where we go God is there, whether home or work, inside or out, night or day, with others or alone. Though we may not be able to tell what is going on, it is crystal clear to God.

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. (verses 13-16, ESV)

God made you on purpose and has a plan for you. We do not need to have all the answers, because God does.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. (verses 17-18, ESV)

God is AMAZING!
