Great Lent - Preparation Sunday
In all, the Lord’s sermon concerning our spiritual work in charity, fasting or praying, directs our sights towards the Father. He warns us, ‘your Father who sees in secret’. We have known the Father in Jesus Christ. In fact this is the foundation of our Christian belief, “Now we are children of God.” (1 John 3:2). Our son-ship for God must be very clear in all of our lives and our communication with God. The son-ship is the foundation of prayers. That is why when we pray we say, “Our Father in heaven.” (Matt.6:9). In our fasting we present it to our heavenly Father… Our fasting and prays are not obligations, we are not enslaved by our Creator or because we fear His punishment or we are greedy for a reward… We pray to God our Father. We want Jesus to live within us, we want to be the sons of our Father in heaven because He is Holy. [ click here to read the full article]

GIVE YOURSELF FULLY to the adventure of today. Walk boldly along the path of Life, relying on your ever-present Companion. You have every reason to be confident because My Presence accompanies you all the days of your life and onward into eternity.
Do not give in to fear or worry, those robbers of abundant living. Trust Me enough to face problems as they come, rather than trying to anticipate them. Fix your eyes on Me, the Author and Perfecter of your faith, and many difficulties on the road ahead will vanish before you reach them. Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am holding you by your right hand. Nothing can separate you from My Presence!
Psalm 48:14; Hebrews 12:2; Isaiah 41:13
