"Dear Lord, Give me strength to carry on"
With 14 more days till Easter, I prayed that prayer deeply today. Coming to Holy Week at the end of Lent is like mile 20 of a marathon. So close, so very close, and yet still excruciatingly far to go. I know Easter's promise is there and I try to hold on to that as I attempt to pick up my very very tiny cross and follow Jesus.When I think of the magnitude of Christ's suffering, my crosses seem small and easy to bear. And yet, in the middle of it, any challenge I seem to face draws my complete attention and feels large. Maybe my prayer should focus on perspective and in that I will find strength. For Christ conquered everything on that hill leaving nothing but the challenge of faith for us. If we can remain in him, then NOTHING is impossible and we shall overcome.
