February in The Upper Room Chapel

February 1, 2020 by Beth A. Richardson

TO LIVE BY God's call means making ourselves available to the power of the Spirit within us. When we become available to the Spirit, our personal stories become part of God's great story of redeeming love, despite our weaknesses. —Kara Lassen Oliver

GOD, YOU HAVE made me and you know me. I am empty and find myself in darkness so dark that I am overwhelmed by its density. You alone know the thoughts that assault my mind. You alone know my anxious ways. You alone know the demands that haunt me unceasingly. God, where are you in all this You said that you would not leave me, yet I feel abandoned and exposed. Rescue me from me. Quick, God, I can't wait. Send your Spirit to my rescue, in the name of love. Amen.

– Juanita Rasmus
