Thoughts from the Senior Warden…

  

Christians throughout the world are in the thick of Lent, and with COVID-19, it really feels like it. You might be working from home, homeschooling your children, or simply fear getting out of the house.  Sundays may seem especially empty without physically coming together for congregational worship.  This Lent, simply said, has many of us in a place where the joy of Easter feels very far away.  That said, Lent is a time for reflection and prayer.  Psalm 56:9 reminds us, “The very moment we call to you for help the tide of the battle turns and our enemies flee. The one thing we know: God is on our side.” This Psalm was true when David wrote it, and it proves true in these days of uncertainty as well. Though there is great fear surrounding the threat of COVID-19, we can rest assured that we have a Father in Heaven who is with us in all things.On behalf of Cannon Woodrum, Deacon Phyllis, Deacon Lydia, and the St. Luke’s Vestry, I invite you all to take part in this sacred period of reflection and prayer.  Join with us at www.stlukesliveoak.org for Lenten reflections and celebration of the Eucharist on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 and Sunday mornings at 11:00.  Daily personal and family devotions can help prepare us for the joy of Easter as well.  Pray for the health of the church, the country, and the world, and reach out to someone whether by telephone, text, or email to simply let them know that they are in your thoughts and prayers.In closing, I’d like to offer the following prayer:God, we ask for your blessing during this Holy Season of Lent. Give us the grace of Your presence, inspire us with Your Spirit, and lead us to a renewed life grounded in You.  Help us to empty our lives of that which is not truly necessary.  Give us the gift of seeing Your presence in our lives and help us to open our hearts and welcome You in.  Teach us Heavenly Father how to rest in You and to hear Your voice.  In Christ name we ask and pray, Amen.

Mike
