Jesus-Shaped Life: Prayer

As we walk through the season of Lent, we will craft and practice
experiments in living a Jesus-shaped life. We live in the
influence of a world teaching us to put ourselves first and seek
our own safety, comfort, wealth above all else, but the Christ
Hymn in Philippians 2 teaches the way of Jesus is one of
self-emptying, self-giving love. How can we engage the
traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as a way
of opening ourselves to be formed by Jesus to be like Jesus for
the sake of the world?


This week, we considered the practice of prayer. Rebecca invited
us to consider the space from which we pray. How can we pray from
a secure place of belonging, a place of resting in God's love and
delight in us? And how might this prayer free us to put others
first and follow the way of Jesus in self-emptying, self-giving
love?
