Ash Wednesday, February 17
Joel 2:12-13 – Yet even now, says the LORD, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.
As a common part of our life journey, each of us shares the ability to stray from God. Lent provides us with an opportunity to embark on a new journey toward God all over again. In keeping with this idea of journeying, I hope you will consider physically and metaphorically walking toward the cross.
Prayer
Gracious and merciful God, join me as I embark on this journey and create in me a new heart. AMEN.
