February 2025 - Beyond the Familiar
February 2025
“I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, Father, are joined together as one. I pray for them to become one with us so that the world will recognize that you sent me.”
John 17:21 TPT
Beyond the Familiar
Our hearts' prayer as we prepare for 2025 Chosen by Love Day Retreat is, “Lord, take us beyond the familiar.” This is our prayer for you too.
So much of our day-to-day happens on autopilot. God created us in such a way that our brains allow us to perform routine tasks on autopilot without conscious thought, conserving energy for more complex things. This can be such a beautiful gift!
However, at times, it can be limiting. And when it comes to our relationship with the Lord, we want both the familiar moments that help us to feel seen, known, and heard by Him, and new experiences and understandings that take us into more. Thanks to Holy Spirit, we get to have both. He knows exactly how to bridge this gap for us.
Whether in person, or in spirit, we invite you to enter in with us as we ask the Lord to take each of us beyond the familiar and into the depth and newness of life that He has for us along the way.
We look forward to seeing those who can join us April 19th. We will be exploring familiar passages, while trusting Holy Spirit to lead us into more of His heart when it comes to our theme “One with Him.”
