Praying Together 5th March 2023

Once in a while, we might close our earthly eyes and leap over the side. There is nothing that Jesus asks us that we can’t achieve.

The prophecy is fulfilled, the light has come, the day will dawn and the morning star will rise in our hearts. Hallelujah.

The treasure is there – it just needs to be found. We search for truth, and realise that Jesus is the truth; the way; and the life.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

‘What do I have to do to be free?’, they ask. What will it cost me?
Just believe, He says. I’ll buy it for you. On a cross

When we are baptised in Christ, washed free of our past, we have the opportunity of starting again. We try – and will inevitably fail. But that mustn’t stop us trying.

Someone once asked who would be the best person to talk about Jesus to a lorry driver. To which the answer is ‘another lorry driver’.

Faith is to know that however cold the winter, however dark the night, a new Spring morning will flood creation with light and warmth.

Who does God send to tell the World?
You.

People ask how to discern truth from the well-crafted lies of the enemy. Protected by His promise, the answer is simple. In prayer, just ask whether you can see Jesus in their words and deeds.

We too are challenged to live as disciples. We have the benefit of scripture and history. We know that the story will end with Christ victorious.

He is the Way. On our journey, there will be signposts that will ensure we keep to the path. Prayer. Scripture. Worship. Spiritual guides. He walks alongside – even if sometimes we don’t recognise Him.
