Welcome back to our Lenten Series blog! Last week, we explored the call to sacrifice and self-denial, and I hope you’ve been encouraged to take up your cross and follow Jesus, even when it’s hard. This week, we’re shifting our focus to a theme that’s especially relevant when the journey feels long, and the challenges seem overwhelming: Hope.
O Almighty and Everlasting God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, You Who laid the foundations of the world, Who set the mountains in their place, who commanded and the seas were formed — I come before You in reverence, calling upon Your mercy for the lands shaken by destruction, especially the people of Myanmar and Thailand – seeking that You be their refuge, strength and comfort; let Your peace reign where there is fear; and let Your grace uphold those who cry out to You.
