a prayerful lent — THE 5th WEEK IN LENT
THE 5th WEEK IN LENT
Beginning Sunday, April 2, 2017
PRAY Almighty God, you are the only one who can set all things right. Help us to love what you love. Help us to do all that you tell us to do. Help us to not be distracted by the things in this world that draw us from you. Help us to trust you alone. Amen.
READ “When I listen to you, God, when I do what you ask me to, I am like a tree planted by a river, a tree full of fruit with leaves that are always green.”2 (Psalm 1)
SING
I’ll say, “Yes, Lord, yes”
To Your will and to Your way
I’ll say, “Yes, Lord, yes”
I will trust You and obey
When Your Spirit speaks to me
With my whole heart I’ll agree
And my answer will be, “Yes, Lord, yes”
DO On a piece of paper, draw a tree trunk. Draw leaves and fruit on your tree. Inside each leaf, doodle or write a request to God. Inside each fruit, write how God has answered a prayer.
