Reflection
Ask,
and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you.—Matthew 7:7
Many of us lead extremely
hectic lives. I have to admit that, at
times, my schedule becomes so filled that it difficult to hear the voice of
God. Although waking up at 7:00 AM on a
Sunday feels like the last thing I want to do during the busiest times of the
season, my mornings at Trinity give me the calm I need to hear what God is
leading me to do.
Last year around this time I
was feeling called to participate in a Trinity Lenten group, but also knew I
was unable to commit. The groups were too far from our home or met at times
that didn’t work with my family’s schedule. Instead of letting my “busyness”
block God’s calling, I decided to form a Lenten group in my neighborhood. We conveniently met on Sunday afternoons
while our kids played in the basement. The location and discussion leader
changed from week to week so no one carried too much of the load. The members
are all crazy busy working mothers, but we know the importance of hearing what
God has in store for our lives. Fortunately,
He is calling us into community again this year, and I can’t wait to see what
unfolds.
Prayer: Dear God, I admit
that there are times when my schedule becomes so busy that I ignore your
words. Thank you for never giving up on
me. I know that when I listen for your
voice, your plans for my amazing life become clearer. What a gift! Amen.
