Weekday Devotions For Lent
Friday, March 17, 2023
Breath Prayer
Use a simple phrase as you breathe in and out to center yourself and find space for prayer. Today’s Breath Prayer is from the first line of Psalm 23.
Daily Gospel Reading
John 6:5, 7-9, 11 
5 When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?”  
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?”  
11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

"The Lord is My Shepherd"
John Rutter, like other more recent composers, uses his requiem not only to honor the dead, but to comfort those who grieve. In our tradition, Psalm 23 has become one of the most powerful ways we remember that God is with us even in the depths of our grief, even as we walk through the darkest shadows.  

Worship Scripture: Psalm 23  

Guiding Questions:
What times in your life have felt like valleys? What things have offered you the peace of still water? What ways might you find still waters with God this week? 
Music to Accompany your Devotional
Music is an important part of our faith: it comforts us, connects us to others as we join them in song,
and is a means of praising God. Many hymns draw on texts from the Bible, connecting us with other believers across time and space as we learn and repeat words that have been precious to prior generations and to our kin across the globe.

These prompts are meant to keep children engaged and help children connect with the gospel in your family’s Lenten devotional practices.
