The Second Sunday in Lent
ISAIAH 43:5 (CEV)
Don’t be afraid! I am with you.
From both east and west
I will bring you together.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-9 (CEB)
We are experiencing all kinds of trouble, but we aren’t crushed. We are confused, but we aren’t depressed. We are harassed, but we aren’t abandoned. We are knocked down, but we aren’t knocked out.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The Lord is with you.
PRAYER
Lord, even when my world is falling apart you're there for me. But I confess that I let anxiety take over -- even when it is not warranted. I have a very active imagination. Rescue me from my depression. Even though I'm having trouble seeing it, I'm going to trust that you'll get me through it. Amen.
