Wednesday in the Fourth Week of Lent
Turn to me in mercy,
as you always do to those who love your Name.
Psalm 119:132
My rule of life has become simple over the past months. Each day I strive to work some, play some, rest some, and create something, weaving prayer into and around it all, keeping an ongoing conversation with God.
And on an afternoon when my senses are wearied by lament, this small act of creation pulls me back to my center. I lean into God’s mercy as I lean into the dough, making my prayer physical and strenuous. The yeast begins its hidden work, and so does God’s grace, leaving me buoyant once again.
