Lenten Prayer Practice – Day Nineteen Nicole

joyful for having brothers

About what am I #joyful today? #BlessedByMyBrothers #lentenseason2017

Holy Trinity, center me now that I may notice Your creative intention, nest in the broad, safe space of Your presence, and intentionally nurture another with the same.

What word or phrase do I notice on which I may center:

John 4:23-29 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. God is looking for those who will worship in spirit and truth. For God is Spirit, so those who worship God must worship in spirit and in truth.” The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus told her, “I am the Messiah!” Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked to find him talking to a woman, but none of them had the nerve to ask, “What do you want with her?” or “Why are you talking to her?” The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” [~NLT]

Line the nest of God’s presence with this prayer for _______ and myself:
