A shorter biblical blog today, but a “pre bible" thought. Today is the first Friday during Lent and while Lent is considered a time for prayer and reflection, Friday is especially. It was on Good Friday Jesus was crucified for our sin. Today, and each Friday during Lent, take time to look within your own heart for sin that is there. Take time to pray for you faith. Take time to pray for the lost in your community and family. Take time to pray for the sick. We should devote ourselves to prayer not just in this season, but all year long.
Jesus today does not prayer that we are spared from suffering. Today, he prays that God is with us in our suffering. We will not be spared from the struggles of life. Some of these struggles we will bring on ourselves others will happen for no discernable reason. But, in both, know that God is with us and will be with us in spite of the struggle. Sometimes when we go through trials we are tempted to say, why has God left us? It is actually in those times, if we will look closely that God is most present in our lives. Today, if it is God’s will may we be spared such trouble, but if not, then may we realize that God is in our midst. Only in Him can we make it through trials and tragedy. We will go through such things. May we have the grace to cling tightly to our God in our hour of need.
