Opening Prayer: “Strengthen the feeble hands, and steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.’” (Isaiah 35:3-4)
Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-10
Journal: What does the scripture for today do within you? What does it stir up? What does it disrupt? How does it offer you help and hope?
Reflection: Only you, O God, can make a parched land glad and make the wilderness blossom and bloom. Only you can make water gush forth in the desert and make streams flow in the wasteland. Only you can turn burning sand into pools of water and transform thirsty ground into bubbling springs. Only you can turn the wilderness into a place of life and hope. Do that again today, we pray. Lord, have mercy on us.
Pray
Closing Prayer: “They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.” (Isaiah 35:10)
