John 3:8
The Wind Blows where it will. You hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

Matthew 11: 25-30
At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. 27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The Children of God believe God Himself is in charge.
And we all need to have regard for loving ourselves. We keep our minds alert and resolve God's help and Blessing upon the renewal of our minds. Opening our soul and heart for Jesus to be strength in our Lives.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The Spiritual, the imperishable, the mind
The brain with many emotions and memories and the heart being willing to have affection and Love - we find the new ideas of having a mind palace intersect our physical living spaces. Cross over into delighting the heart with new paths and Beauty.
Small changes have powerful impact. Hope.
For example,
As we look at the beauty of the changing seasons, we find Autumn Gardens are very easy. Like early spring.
Consider a seed. A field needing attention. And the placing of a few items. Beauty. Peace. Hope.
Prayer.
Seems like this was happening as we saw the world applaud the helpers. We weren't tired of Pandemic and getting busier. In fact, one of the largest selling items on eBay were crosses.
Now, Crosses are selling in a big way on eBay - again. That's right, people are holding on to the Cross of Jesus Christ.
If Crosses are making a full scale come back, we won't doubt Prayer is going on as well. So many times Jesus carried the burden and faith was Spoken and the Word of God changed Lives.
We would all like life to be a lighter burden on us all.
Jesus gave us ideas as He healed. Go and see the priest. Go to the Pool of Siloam (Sent). Walk to the wilderness. Have a little faith. The deaf are healed in quiet places with renewed time with Jesus. Have Jesus to your house. Go where Jesus asks you to go. Do not be afraid, Jesus is with you. Pick up your pallet - an everyday chore. Walk. Abraham was called to move far away. Naaman was called to travel far away and go and do something he could have done at home. All of these people were obedient to the call of God in their lives.
Lent - Expect and Prepare for God to do His Mighty Work.
We expect God. We give up certain things. We do more of other actions. We find Good Works. What if we all decided to chose something pleasing to God and we do this to prepare a place of expectation in our hearts for God's Wondrous, Answered Prayers.
This is the same garden (life) we've had, now we just look at the Seasons to see what God is saying and providing. We view life with opportunity to pray and to find God Himself.
The Scriptures challenge us many times to find ourselves doing something new for God and our look out for 40 days.
Suppose you decide you are called to pray every time the news is upsetting. Jesus, the people you love are in a mess - please create calm, peace, hope and Love. Father God, I need more quiet time - I will walk. Father God I know my family is lonely, I will pledge to call even for 3 or 4 minutes more regularly. Jesus the Lord, I know someone in my family is struggling to be calm, I will give more assurance and be more diligent at being peaceful. Our prayers and our sacrifices of ice cream or something else, will encourage us to understand and focus this is important to us. Our diligence creates more answered prayers and more God opportunities.
Every time we view hate, we pray for the people we see and for the people we don't see in trouble. And we will recall the beginning of this good work all over the world, with all the hard work and prayers we would ever hope for.
Hebrews 12:12 -13
Therefore strengthen your limp hands, lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
Mary is recorded being at the feet of Jesus 3 times.
Jesus confidently is on The Path - The way, the truth and the Life.
Jesus tells us in His Word, when we pray at the feet of Jesus, He hears us.
Today, Jesus is working. Jesus encountered a great number of howling, angry, incredible spirits. Jesus didn't give sermons about this. Jesus Christ, Son of God, didn't point fingers. Jesus our Lord God's Only Son did not give an open microphone to all that was wrong in His walking path of Grace upon Grace. Instead, Jesus had the howling, ugly part of life to Be Quiet very deliberately.
And Jesus proceeded to find healing, prayer, inner peace, Joy and give Love to generations and millenniums.
We can confidently...
Overcome Trouble.
With prayer. Holding fast to Jesus. I put out my Easter cross in my yard - the Cross is the Passover to me. We pray asking John's Gospel Chapter 17, Jesus prays with us. We Overcome with Jesus as our strength in His Word.
A new light, well-placed, makes us see new horizons.
Abba,
The woman holding on to the Fringe of Your Son's Robe, had all Your attention.
We place ourselves at the Feet of Jesus.
The Storm is raging. We sometimes feel, seeing people suffer across the Nation,

this Nation as a desired Haven again."
We know You are working. The storm will yield.
Dwell in us and the people we Love.
Help us to see You First.
We give many thanks for the people who calm the waters to provide us
safety, calm, the framework You'd Bless us with to discover
Joy in Life.
You are The Good Father asking us
to Love ourselves. To have a Spirit of Power.
To Love others.
Abundant Love flowing down. Soaking us all
His Living Water flows.
Opening our doors with expectation of Your Continued Goodness,
Jesus Christ.
We pray for the safety of
our Schools to be a safe, good,
warm place for the Children
Children need their Schools.
We ask for all the re-openings
Finding Your Blessing and Word of Love.
Blessing our Nation, blessing us.

The Silent Minute was an historic movement begun in the United Kingdom by Major Wellesley Tudor Pole O.B.E. in 1940.
It continues today as a London-based charity.
During the Second World War people would unite in meditation, prayer or focus (each according to their own belief) and consciously will for peace to prevail.
This dedicated minute received the direct support of King George VI, Sir Winston Churchill and his Parliamentary Cabinet. Also recognized by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and observed on land and at sea on the battlefields, in air raid shelters and in hospitals.
With Churchill’s support, the BBC, started on Sunday, November 10, 1940
