In “The Circle Maker” (page 15) Mark Batterson invites us to
dream big and pray boldly. He says, “The greatest
moments in life are the miraculous moments when human impotence and divine omnipotence
intersect—and they intersect when we draw a circle around the impossible
situations in our lives and invite God to intervene.” Lent is a
time of prayer when we invite God into our lives. What would you like Jesus to do for you? Take time to circle it in prayer, resting on
the promises of God.
Great and loving God, we thank You for teaching us to know You through
Your written and living Word. Empower us to look beyond the things that
surround us to the wonders of the heavens above and to the miracle that is each
of us. We thank You for providing us with our daily needs. Empower us to
look beyond our own needs to the needs of all who live on this earth and to
care and share in the Spirit of Your Son, our forgiving Savior and Servant
Lord. We give You thanks that You have prepared an eternal home for us, and
pray that You will keep us in faith so that we might live with meaning and
eventually bid farewell to life in this world with peace, joy, and sure hope.
In the name of Jesus, in Whom we have seen You and through Whom we belong to
You. Amen.
