The shorter days seem to represent a darkness in our land but as the sun hangs around a little more each day so we see hope. Hope for a better tomorrow, Hope found in the future we share, but ultimately Hope in a god who makes a real and lasting difference to the whole of our lives. In this season of ups and downs, highs and lows the Book of Psalms represents a rich tapestry of prayer, praise, theology and lament. Some psalms reflect a texture of deep despair, other glow with a deep peace in the Lord's strength, still others bubble with an exuberant exaltation of the Most High God. They cover the range of human emotion and experience. What they all have in common is prayer, a reaching out to God from every imaginable experience. At United Church Ferndown we have put these reflections together expressing our faith and our journeys with God to help those who read them experience a little more about the God who makes all the difference. It will only take a few minutes. In this Lenten Series of reflections, we attempt to enter into the experience of the psalms and the hope we find in them… Enjoy!
