THEY REPENTED

PRAYER MOMENT


Wednesday 17 February 2016   


THEY REPENTED


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “On Judgement day the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation and condemn it, because when Jonah preached they repented; and there is something greater than Jonah here.” (Luke 11:29-32)


Reflection. ‘Repent’ is a short sharp word but its full meaning is to ‘change one’s way of thinking’ – one of the hardest things for men and women to do, even in the face of facts to the contrary. We might think the evidence for climate change is overwhelming but many just refuse to change their way of thinking about it. And so it is with many issues, global and personal. People find it so hard to change and I have to ask myself where I am in this? Am I rooted in some opinions or am I open to change?


Prayer. Lord, help us to be open to contrary views and listen and weigh up all we hear. Amen.
