Who Are You Before God? Providence Podcast Episode

God wants us as we are. No bravado, no chest beating and discarding our own worth. God receives us – all that we are, our past, our present, our brokenness and giftedness — the whole of each of us. God loves us however we show up. And God always shows up for us.

by Sister Leslie Keener, CDP

For reflection:

  • On a scale from Pharisee to Tax Collector, where do you fall right now? What makes you think so? What do you need from God in this space?

  • What kind of prayer works for you, or what different kinds of prayer work for you?

  • Is there anything in your life that God is inviting you to reflect on right now, maybe something that you don’t want to look at or haven’t really explored? Is God inviting you to show up in a more genuine way? Let’s just take a few moments to talk with God, and listen to what God might want to say. Or, if you feel called, just sit with God in silence.
