Midweek Mission Moment 3/4/2026

Thank you, God, for guiding us through this time of reflection and repentance. May we turn our eyes, ears, heart, mind, and soul to You and be open and receptive to Your teachings this Lenten season.

When the World is Churning...With everything that is happening in our world and in our community, I have spent a great deal of time praying and reading scripture lately.

Leaning into God's word is my safe place.

Just last night, as I was praying, a prayer that our friend, Jane Davis shared recently came to mind and it brought me comfort. So, I wanted to share this in the hope that when the world feels heavy, you too will find peace in our Savior.

Blessings, Beth

From Jane...
When the world is churning, uncontrollably, from one end to the other.

God always brings my soul back here.
He displays a glorious sunrise...
He guides my gaze to the "I am with you" reminder on the table...
beside the flickering candles, my instruction, "Abide in Him"...
nestled amidst various paintings, the sign that reads, "Come Holy Spirit"...
and the waft of drifting incense that reminds me that He's here.

He's HERE, now.
He's in the midst of every situation and crisis.
He's in the north, south, east, west, and center of our world...
your world.
And this puts my heart at peace.
I can breathe.
I can listen to His calming voice.
I can know He's ever-so-close.
So can you.

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

John 16:33
