Good News for Families- March; 3rd Sunday in Lent Children’s Bulletin
God of Sinai, help me receive your law as grace: gift, not burden.
When we walk in your ways, life is better both for us and,
more importantly, for our neighbors.
A breath of fresh prayer
Norwegian theologian Ole Hallesby described prayer as simply letting God into our lives. God “knocks,” he said, “not only in the solemn hours of secret prayer” but “in the midst of your daily work, your daily struggles, your daily grind … when you need him most.”
Prayer, added Hallesby, is as essential to life as air. “As impossible as it is for us to take a breath in the morning large enough to last us until noon, so impossible is it to pray in the morning in such a way as to last us until noon,” he said. “Let your prayers ascend to [God] constantly, audibly or silently, as circumstances throughout the day permit.”
