This was sent to me from a St. John member:
Was standing in the driveway, praying this morning. Nathaniel Bowditch, a famous navigator and man of faith, said something like, “When you look at the greatness of the night sky, somehow life’s worries and problems don’t seem so big.” There’s something simple and peaceful, yet majestic, about God’s sanctuary.
As I was praying through Psalm 139, I felt tiny drops of rain. Being a good Lutheran convert (!) I was reminded of my baptism. In prayer, there is nothing like standing before God, knowing your sin, knowing He knows your sin, but because of Christ, you are “His son” and He hears your prayers as “Our Father.”
