Starter Prayer: God who knows, most of us walk around begging to be seen, begging to be known. However, I don’t have to beg with you. You know me completely. You see me. You hear me. You walk with me. There is no fighting for your attention. I have it. What a gift that is. Help me to appreciate the gift of this love. Amen.

Focus Word: Be Known

TODAY’S SPIRITUAL PRACTICE:

• Read and reflect on pages 31-32 of the devotional. The link is in every Journey email. If you’re not getting those, register here. 
• Read John 10:14.
  
• Think of someone who knows you. What are three things this person does not know about you? Remember that God knows us fully.
• Make your plans to participate in the Good Friday Experience at Crossroads, in-person, online or on demand. We will reflect upon the hidden wisdom and true power of Christ’s Love. For the in-person option, a reservation is necessary.
• As the week unfolds, what word or phrase captures your attention? Weave your word into the prayer wall at the Taft Avenue facility; or text your word to 970-500-0970, and the prayer team will weave it into the wall for you.
