EXCHANGES ON THE WAY: LENTEN PRAYERS
Day 5: First Monday
Mark 9:1-12 (especially verses 2-3)
O Jesus, some of us have been walking with You for many years and sense your presence at various times and with varying degrees of intensity - even thrilling moments of ecstasy. Some of us seldom sense your presence. But we pray in hope. And we walk by faith, trusting in your word as we have heard, read, sung, prayed and contemplated it; trusting, also, in the presence, guidance, and comfort of your Spirit, who moves in unseen, often unrecognized, ways in our lives.
We long for, but do not expect, an intense view of You in your glory. Still, we continue to hope and trust in You. And we follow on, awaiting the day when we will see You face to face, know You fully, and be fully known.* Amen.
* I Corinthians 13:12
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
