In Episode 39, Lauren introduces listeners to the first non-human stranger in this series - a bird with a broken wing and a powerful lesson.
Wonder
Is there a space in your life that is hurting? Are you exhausted trying to figure out life on your own? Do the worries seem to be circling like crows in the sky? You may not see him, but your rescuer is right next to you. You don’t have to rescue yourself anymore. There’s an easier way.
Activate
Sometimes our physical posture can represent the posture of our heart. Before saying the next prayer, experiment by praying the following prayer on your knees or with your hands open and palms facing up.
Yield
Pray this prayer with me today: “Jesus, I give up. I surrender [insert what you sense he’s inviting you to surrender] to you. I don’t know how to move or what to think or where to go or what to do, but I ask that you come in and rescue me. Like that little bird, scoop me into your hands and fill me with your peace. And I will watch to see what you will do.”
