Lent 2008 - 2nd Sunday

"Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise."


It is wonderful to begin this week
acknowledging that we need God's help in listening and hearing.

It is so powerful to ask for the "gift of integrity" -
to express our desire for wholeness.

And, we humbly ask for light in the midst of whatever
might "shadow our vision."

This is the God who allows Jesus
to be transfigured before his disciples,
to prepare them for what they were about to face.

This is our God, who can give each of us
the change of heart we ask for.

Trust the LORD! Be brave and strong and trust the LORD.

Psalm 27:14
