Wednesday
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing
spirit.
Psalm 51:12

Prayer
Lord, you know the trials that my family has
experienced. I have been tested in so
many ways as I have taken up the crosses of family. Heavenly Father, I know that more struggles
are sure to come in the days ahead. Use
the trials in my life as a way to produce a steadfast faith in me. Let me count the crosses I carry as joy. Let me be there for better or worse, for
richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. Amen.

Meditation
The spiritual life is a life that is guided by God’s Spirit,
the same Spirit that guided the life of Jesus.
So the question is how to be in touch with Spirit, hear the voice of the
Spirit and allow ourselves to be guided by the Spirit. This is not so easy in a world where there
are so many things going on and so many voices calling for our attention. Can we create some space for God where we can
hear, feel and experience the Spirit of God, and where it becomes possible for
us to respond? Is there space in our
lives where the Spirit of God has a chance of getting our attention?
