Pastor Micah continues on in our series this week called "From the Ashes: Embracing the Full Life of God." Our lives can sometimes feel like they are a disappointing pile of ashes. We can be broken, shattered, and destroyed.
However, the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection is that we can experience new life. In and through Christ, you can rise above the ashes and experience abundant life. Each week we will look at one aspect of Jesus’ life and ministry during His time here on earth and what we can learn from Him.
In the busyness of life, we often neglect our connection to the source of life. Drawing near to God through contemplative prayer is the way in which we experience the nearness of God. This is an intentional practice that won’t happen by accident.
1. Lift your Eyes Up (Psalm 121:1-2, 7-8)
2. Practice Stillness (Psalm 46:10, 62:1)
Jesus reminds us that He offers us a place to bring our burdens, exhaustion, and chaos by coming into His presence! (Matthew 11:28-30)
Bottom Line: We need to intentionally create spaces and places where we sit in the still, quiet, peaceful presence of the Lord!
