The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)
Loving God, help us to be mindful of your Spirit around us. May we wonder when the wind blows by, or when something brushes our skin. As we journey through Lent, give us strength to stand firm in our Lenten practices, knowing you are with us. And God, urge us to make time to sit in silence and to be fully present with you each day, however that looks for each of us. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Loving God, thank you for loving our world. Thank you for not giving up on us and guiding us along the way. Thank you for Jesus being born and his stories available for all to learn from. Help us to dust off our Bibles and to read words that will touch our hearts and/or challenge us to do something. God, thank you for giving us the challenge of helping instigate change in our world today and for years to come.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:17)
Loving God, we may come to prayer today wondering, “what does it mean to be saved?” We live into your grace, working into what your forgiveness looks like in our lives, and how to institute your eternal love and care for all. Is it okay, O God, to wonder what ‘being saved’ looks like for each of us? I pray that in the silent moments we take with you, we can discover what it is for our individual lives and our communities. Thank you O God. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (John 4:7)
Loving God, Jesus met many people in his short lifetime. He did not care who they were, but whose they were. He did not discriminate one community or another but called his disciples to go and share their light to all. As the landscape of our communities change, help us to remember that we can sit and be with all people. We can learn and grow from our experiences, our differences, and the things we’re most passionate about. May we remember that we are all your children. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)
Loving God, when we sit with the holy, help us to know you. When we thirst for something more, help us to see you. When we live divinely human lives, help us to remember that we carry your light, purpose, grace, forgiveness, mercy, and compassion with us. May we never take a moment for granted and may we share your love with everyone we encounter. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-14)
Loving God, we pray for children and families today and pray that they long for deeper connection with you O God. If we are a place to do that in, may it be so. We know families are busy and there is a lot going on, even on Sunday mornings, but may they know we are here. They are welcome, even if it’s been a long time since we saw them. Give them the strength, resources, and energy to get through all they have going on in their lives. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” (John 4:15)
Loving God, we gather for church this morning and I pray that you wake each of us with a sense of curiosity. Maybe we’ll wonder what the message will be. Maybe we’ll wonder who we will see in the pews. Whatever our wondering is today, I pray that we know our church is a sacred place of safety, comfort, and community. A place where we can laugh, cry, grow, and wonder together. Thank you, O God, for the gift of worshiping safely and comfortably together. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
