LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 39: Friday
Mark 9:1-13

Jesus, You reveal your glory to us in unexpected moments.  You dazzle us!  You terrify us!  We speak, but do not know what to say. 

Somehow your promise is answered in the dazzling glimpse You give of glory that is usually concealed.  Somehow, God’s reign has come in power through your blazing presence.  But we do not know how to grab onto it or enter into it fully. Somehow all of the instruction and prophecy of God’s covenant with Israel has found its fulfillment in this moment.  But we do not know what we should do.

We are more astonished by your presence than we ever have been.  You are revealed to us as Beloved Son of God.  And we believe it!

Listen!  That’s what we are told.  Listen!  Obey!  Follow!  

We listen as we continue to walk with You.  And we remember your glory—glory that we can barely speak about.  Amen.
