Lent Video Two — Guided Meditation: ‘I Call You My Friend’

The Season of Lent always invites us to encounter God on a deeper, more personal level. Today we will be doing more than wading in a shallow pool. We will step into the deep waters of relationship. We will move beyond reciting prayers out of a book, and move into a conversation with Jesus.

When you fall in love with someone, you may occasionally send sentimental Hallmark-type cards trying to express your love. But at some point, you begin to speak from your heart, with words that naturally flow from your heart. The same is true with our relationship with Jesus.

I am going to lead you in a guided meditation today to experience that conversation with Jesus.

First, take a minute to focus your attention. Let go of other distracting thoughts. Take a couple deep breaths. Breathe in God’s presence and exhale any anxiety, any tension in your body.

Let’s begin.

God bless you on your Lenten journey.
