Pressure pushes down on our lives in so many ways leaving us feeling weary and frayed. The way things are in the world, the realities of our work responsibilities, family needs, and personal struggles can make it seem that there is no relief to be found. Our scripture texts from the Revised Common Lectionary over these weeks provide opportunities for us to name the pressure and pain in honest lament and to receive the balm of God’s love and provision. God calls us to a new place of freedom and, as the late David Bowie teaches, to “give love one more chance.” Join us on the journey!
