Devotions for week of March 22 (Mar 22, 2015)

Prayer Request:

 

Begin by praying the opening prayer. Read the assigned Psalm for the week once or twice and take a few moments to center yourself on God, relaxing and paying close attention to your breathing. Pray for yourself and others, allowing time for God to place others in your thoughts. Read the day's assigned Scripture slowly and reflectively, perhaps more than once, taking time to allow thoughts and images to form in your mind. Reflect on the Scripture, perhaps writing in your journal. Close with the week's benediction.

Opening prayer:O God, our Father, renew our spirits and draw our hearts to you, that our work may not be to us a burden but a delight; and give us such love to you as may sweeten all our obedience. Help us that we may serve you with the cheerfulness and gladness of children, delighting ourselves in you and rejoicing in all that is to the honor of your name; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
