Let's Pray

Lent. Day Nine

Can you join me in meditating on these three words today from Colossians 1:19? They are rocking my world:

It pleased God. (CJB)

And would you be willing to bow in prayer with me for just a moment in order to pray from the heart to Jesus?

Mighty God. The Supreme One. As I walk day-by-day to the Cross of Christ this season of Lent, I remember how much Jesus pleased You. I remember how much joy it gave Him to please You. He did this naturally and easily all the time. I need all the help You can give me to choose to please You, and You only, instead of working so hard to please others or even just myself. In your mighty name I pray, Amen.
