February 2023 Prayer Page

Dear Everyone,
Here is a piece I read which had quite an affect on me last year. I keep going back to certain “letters” and praying them often. I hope you will find something to meditate on. It is an exercise over two weeks, then you repeat it. Doing it a second time had an even deeper meaning for me. The prayer is from “God’s Word, 2022” with a few alterations.
As we commence Lent this month, this prayer suggestion could be an opportunity to discover what we have to let go of, or what we have to embrace more, in order to hear what the Lord wants of us in 2023.
