What if the object of life was not to get our own way, but to find ourselves in God's way? There is simplicity in this understanding, but simple does not mean easy. Even Jesus wrestled with the Father's will in the garden. The resurrection was only realized through the obedience of Jesus--our resurrection will come through our own willingness to join Jesus in the garden saying, "Not my will, but your will."

From Series: "Fuse Breaker"

Life can be overwhelming. We can feel pulled from every direction, and our relationships with both God and others suffer as a result. In many ways it seems that our life is an overwhelmed electrical circuit. We need a fuse breaker. This 6-week Lent series will focus on the Lord's Prayer. Lent is a fuse breaker. It is a chance to stop and reflect, and intentionally create space for relationship.

Like Lent, the Lord's Prayer is an invitation to let go of what's weighing us down. It's an invitation to relationship, trust, and direction by way of self-realization--a fuse breaker to prevent an overloaded life.
