1 The Beacon Messenger February 2015 A publication of Bethesda Lutheran Church and East Church Congregational From the Pastor Lent: a time to listen to God Lent is a time that many people give up something that they enjoy (chocolate is #1). Instead of giving up something an alternative is to begin a new activity or increase a current activity (e.g. church attendance, reading the Bible, or prayer). Recently our scripture readings in worship have focused on God speaking to us. We are encouraged to listen for God speaking to us individually and collectively as we hear what God is saying to our churches. As we approach the season of Lent, spending time in prayer would be a great activity for us as individuals and as church bodies. Prayer is a 2-way conversation with God, God listens to us and we listen to God; it is a time to align our heart with God s heart. Prayer deepens our relationship with God. Note Jesus teaches WHEN you pray, not IF you pray. (Matthew 6:5-7). Anne Lamott, in her book on prayer suggests that there are three type of prayer: help, thanks, and wow. She remarks that often we pray when we want God to change a situation. It is fine to tell God what we want and need, but we trust God to give us what is best for us. So we pray for what we hope for, and we pray that if the situation does not change, that God will help us through it. Praying for our team to win is not appropriate, but praying for the safety of players and for fair play is fine. We do not pray that our favorite candidate wins an election, but we pray that God s good and gracious will is carried our through our elected leaders. God works through people, all kinds of people. In the Bible we read that sometimes the leaders of Israel did not carry out God s will so God worked through pagan leaders to bring about changes for the common good. At times we may pray persistently about a concern, but the situation does not change. Looking back later we may be surprised to see how we changed. Prayer may make us more generous, more loving even those who are not easy to love; it may give us much needed patience and strength to endure a situation. Even though we may not hear a specific answer to our question we realize that prayer gives us clarity so that we know how to proceed. When we move ahead we have a sense of peace with our decision. Prayer also gives us peace with things that we cannot change. Sometimes people stop praying when they do not receive what they want; this approach makes God like Santa Claus. Job began as a faithful follower, he was tested with every kind of calamity imaginable, his friends and family told him to curse God and die. Job did not; although he could not understand why so many bad things happened to him, his trust in God s love toward him never wavered. God s ways are not our ways; understanding God is beyond our grasp, but God s grasp on us is solid, we may let go, but God holds us forever. When Jesus healed ten lepers only one returned to give thanks. We may spend a great deal of time asking God for things, doesn t it make sense to spend as much time giving thanks. These prayers can be short and spontaneous, thank you God for. It is easy to give thanks when things go well, but God is with us through the difficult times too. And so we thank God for getting us through those times as well. Sometimes moments take our breath away and all we can say is Wow! It is enough. Even though we are beyond words God hears all that is packed into our exclamation. God keeps on loving and giving, forgiving and welcoming us back. God never leaves our side; God is with us in every trial. Pray for help for yourself and others as needed; offer thanks whenever you can, and leave space in your day for Wow. God never stops listening, and God longs to speak to us. This Lent make time for prayer a priority. Blessings, Pastor Lauren

In the unlikely event of a cancellation notices are posted on channel 22 & 3. However, no one should put themselves at risk by driving, walking or shoveling to attend worship.
