ASH WEDNESDAY

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life."John 8:12

Savior and Friend, today is Ash Wednesday.
We start Lent today,
reflecting on the love you have for us that made you die for us to save us.
It's easy to forget about that love -
you know the activity and the pressures that surround us every day.
You know how these things weigh on our minds and
how they sometimes leave us almost breathless.
In the midst of our fast-moving lives and world,
give us those quiet times we need for reflection and rest,
and keep our minds at peace.
Amen.
