Devotion
It can be hard to fully disconnect and just “be.” Working from home or remote, Zoom meetings, constant access to news and media—all vying for our attention and time. Today’s devotion then is simply a small gift of an invitation to disconnect and with the psalmist to “praise” and “remember the Lord.” Take the next few moments, be that a couple of minutes or just a few breaths, to disconnect and be present in the space around you and to be with yourself as you remember all that the Lord has done.
Prayer
O Holy One, you are with us, around us, and in us. Help us in this Easter season to be fully present to your mission of hope and love. Amen.
