                                      Scripture

     

I waited patiently for you, O God;
You stooped to me and heard my cry.

You lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the mire and the clay,

You set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

 

You put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.  

Many will see and fear, and put their trust in you.


                                                  Psalm 40:1-3  (from The Saint Helena Psalter)

 

Reflection 

 

 

What a comfort this psalm is...but the hard part is letting go and having faith to trust.  My lenten practice is to try and let go and trust...to pay attention and not get so wrapped up in my daily schedule and all the other stuff. 

 

 

Prayer
 
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
 Believe in God, believe also in me.
                                                               John 14:1
