Lent 2021: A Story to Live BySample

Embrace who God is 

Prayer:

Use these moments to open yourself to the presence of your loving God. Pause. Breathe deeply and with intent. And pray:

Yahweh, the great ‘I am’,

Created by the one who made the heavens and the Earth, I am.

Inspired by the one who breathed life into all living things, I am.

Rescued by the one who gave Noah the blueprint for the ark, I am.

Confident in the one who kept the promise to Abraham, I am.

Appointed by the one who gave Joseph purpose, I am.

Freed by the one who broke the chains of injustice in Egypt, I am.

Enabled by the one who makes it possible to defeat giants with a sling, I am.

Restored by the one who brought Israel back from exile, I am.

Forgiven by the one who cries out forgiveness from the cross, I am.

Awakened by the one awakens the dead, I am.

Renewed by the one who will renew all things, I am.

Made in the image of the one called, ‘I am who I am’, I am.

Amen.
