Ideas for Meditation and Reflection
The Way of Jesus is the Way of Comfort and Assurance
Sunday, March 13, 2020
Instead of the text for the week and a sermon, I want to share with you a few prayers, texts and a song that have been important to me in anxious times. Use them for your own reflection this week. If one of them strikes you, post it on your refrigerator or another prominent place that you will see frequently. Peace, Kai
For confidence on an unknown journey…
O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. – ELW Evening Prayer
For guidance in how to respond to others…
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy
O Divine Master, grant that I may
Not so much seek to be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand
To be loved, as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
And it’s in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it’s in dying that we are born to Eternal Life
Amen. – Prayer of St. Francis
For assurance of God’s presence in fearful times…
But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Do not fear, for I am with you – Isaiah 43:1-3,5
For assurance of God’s presence all times…
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:35-39
Finally, here is a video of Carrie Newcomer singing, You Can Do this Hard Thing. It has helped me navigate many a hard thing!
Remember…
- Reach out to a neighbor.
- Comfort a friend.
- Find ways to be generous (see below) so that the work of Jesus might continue to be done through our common work and our partners in ministry who are working on behalf of those most vulnerable in our community.
- Be kind to yourself.
Leader: Go in Peace. Live in the Way of Jesus.
All: Thanks be to God.
