Sabbath is not primarily about [me] or how it benefits [me],’ writes the author Eugene Peterson, ‘it is about God and how God forms [me]. It is not, in the first place, about what [I] do or don’t do; it is about God completing and resting and blessing and sanctifying. It means stopping and being quiet long enough to see, open-eyed with wonder - resurrection wonder.’

“Prayer is more than you could ever imagine, because God is so much beyond what you can conceive. We are surrounded with gods that are too small to be up to the task of holding our deepest personal longings, never mind the world’s most urgent problems.” -David Benner, Opening to God

I dedicate the coming week to Jesus:

Thank You, Father, for loving me with all Your heart, all Your soul and all Your mind.

Inspire me this week to love You more with all of mine.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your faithful and sacrificial friendship.

Help me this week to be a faithful and sacrificial friend like You.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for listening to my many thoughts and words and dreams.

Still my soul this week to listen much more carefully to Yours.

Amen

Registration is open for the 2016 24 Hour Retreat of Silence on December 4-5 at Bishop Lane Retreat House! Click below for more details and registration information.

It is often said that we don't "drift" into growth. Growth and change requires intentional action on our part. While God is the only One who has the power to change us and grow us into the people He created us to be, we are responsible to put ourselves in the place where God has our full attention....
