LENT

During the 40 days of Lent, Christians remember the time when Jesus went into the desert to fast and pray before beginning his work for his Father. Generations later we still use this time to reflect upon his journey. The modern hymnwriter Rachel Parkinson wrote: “Lord, save us from the desert” is what we often pray yet cushioned by securities we often lose the Way.” (© Rachel Parkinson March 2009). She goes on to say that as we are stripped away from the things which bind us God will gently turn our trust away from ourself and bring us to a place where we trust Him for the securities which are eternal. Her hymn seems a fitting reflection in our 21st century lifestyles.
