Crying Out to God – One Word Prayers

This Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 1, and continuing through Easter, April 16, I hope to help us deepen our connection to God and life by focusing on a single word prayer each week: Sorry, Here, Wow (Thanks), Help, Please, When, Why and Yes. This list is not exhaustive.  There are other important single word prayers but these will definitely get us started and take us a long way on the journey of faith

Mar 1  – “SORRY!”    (regret, mercy)  Psalm 139; 1 John 1:4-10

Mar 5 –   “HERE!”  (now, present, we) Exodus 3:1-15; Acts 9:1-5

Mar 12-   “WOW!” (Hallelujah, glory)  Psalm 95:1-7; Romans 11:33-36

Mar 19  – “HELP!”  (guidance, strength, wisdom, patience)  Psalm 25:1-10; Mark 14:32-42

Mar 26 – “PLEASE!” (mercy, bless, peace, grace)  Psalm 145:8-17; Mark 2:1-12;

Apr 2 –   “WHEN?” (how long, where) Psalm 42, Matthew 5

Apr 9   –   WHY?    Psalm 22; Mark 15:25-39

Apr 16 –   “YES!”  (Amen)  Philippians 2:5-13; 2 Corinthian 1:19-20
