Lenten Prayer Practice – Day Twenty-Eight Nicole

darkness is light garden

Where is #darkness in my life in which I need faith to see light? #helpmyunbelief With God even #darknessislight

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 9:7, 30-33, 37-39 Jesus said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see . . . . The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”  . . . Jesus said to him, “You have seen [the Son of Man], and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him. Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.” [NRSV]
