If we can identify with Jesus in his suffering, Can we also identify with him in his resurrection? 2 Corinthians 1:3-11

Psalm 119 1 Chronicles 16:23

I don't know about tomorrow I just live for day to day I don't borrow from the sunshine For it's skies may turn to gray I don't worry o'er the future For I know what Jesus said And today I'll walk beside Him For He knows what lies ahead - Ira Stanphill **Indebted to Vlad Criznic for this episode.

Romans 8:15 says, For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

Psalm 23 Worry is dealing with tomorrow's problems on todays pasture.

Luke 22:41-45 “We have no fatalist resignation. We are buoyed up by a confident trust in the character of God. Even when all we see are the tangled threads on the backside of life’s tapestry, we know that God is good and is out to do us good always. That gives hope to believe that we are the winners, regardless of what we are being called upon to relinquish. God is inviting us deeper in and higher up. There is training in righteousness, transforming power, new joys, deeper intimacy. - Richard Foster

Matthew 6:33-34 James 4:13-15 Exodus 24:12 Prayer of Examen

Matthew 6:11 Deuteronomy 8:16-18

Philippians 2:14-16 ------- "and so they continued on, complaining about the mud in their sandals and between their toes and because their heads were down... they weren’t looking up to see the walls of water being held back for their safety and liberation.”

A short prayer to end the week. Pray the hours with us - bit.ly/pvdhours

May we see our limitations as a friends not an enemies. May we trust God's authorship and embrace all of who we are. Psalm 16:5-8 Matthew 6:33

Psalm 126:4-6 (msg) And now, God, do it again— bring rains to our drought-stricken lives So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing. Isaiah 40:28-31 -------- PRAYER EXERCISE 1) Find a quiet place, gently close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Prepare to pray Psalm 46:10 in 5 consecutively diminishing sentences. 2) Either aloud or quietly to yourself, say the words, “Be still and know that I am God.” 3) After a couple deep breaths, pray, “Be still and know that I am.” 4) After a couple deep breaths, pray “Be still and know.” 5) After a couple deep breaths, pray, “Be still.” 6) After a couple deep breaths, pray, “Be.” 7) When ready, pray, “Amen.”

3.17.20 Philippians 4:6-9 Matthew 11:28-29 The decision to set the mind on the higher things of life is an act of the will. That is why celebration is a discipline. It is not something that falls on our head. It is the result of a consciously chosen way of thinking and living. As we choose that way, the healing and redemption in Christ will break into the inner recesses of our lives and relationships, and the inevitable result will be joy. - Richard Foster ----------------- DAILY will be a midday space for scripture reflections, prayer exercises, pastoral words, and hopefully a bit of wisdom on how to navigate life in the age of the coronavirus as a follower of Jesus.
