Every Wednesday we invite you to Pause & Pray with us. Today’s reflection is written/curated by Carrie-Lee Farnham.

“Finding Peace in the Storm”

Pause

Close your eyes and take a deep breath, allowing yourself to release any tension or worries you may be carrying. Let this moment be a sanctuary of calmness and stillness amidst the chaos of the day.

Pray

Almighty God, as we approach Palm Sunday, we are reminded of the tumultuous journey that your son, Jesus, undertook towards his ultimate sacrifice. Just as Jesus faced challenges and uncertainties, we too encounter storms in our lives that test our faith and resilience. In the midst of life’s storms, grant us the strength to find peace in Your presence. Help us to trust in Your unfailing love and to anchor our souls in Your promises. May we draw courage from the example of Jesus, who remained steadfast in His faith even in the face of adversity. Lord, we pray for those who are currently going through difficult times, facing health challenges, financial struggles, or emotional turmoil. Surround them with Your comforting presence and grant them the assurance that You are with them always. As we journey through this Wednesday leading up to Palm Sunday, may we be reminded of Your sovereignty over the storms of life. Fill our hearts with hope and peace, knowing that You are the anchor of our souls.
Amen.

Reflect

Take a moment to reflect on the storms you are currently facing in your life. How can you trust God more fully and find peace amidst the chaos? Consider listening to the song “Peace Be Still” by The Belonging Co featuring Lauren Daigle as a reminder of God’s presence in the midst of life’s storms. Let the music wash over you and renew your spirit with hope and tranquility.
