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
