I Arise Today Craig Sefa

40 Days Jesus prayed in the wilderness. 40 Days St. Patrick prayed upon this mountain. Where is God calling you in these next 40 Days?40 days often represents a season of preparation, though what exactly God is preparing us for may be unclear. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for the journey. So let us walk this path together, a 40-day pilgrimage, if you will, up Croagh Patrick (St. Patrick's Mountain) in County Mayo, Ireland. May the mountain remind us in this season, God invites us to come away from the busyness of life and simply be. Using the Breastplate Prayer of St. Patrick as our guide, we will learn to "Arise Today" and each day in the grace of our Three-One God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And just maybe as St. Patrick is said to have "driven the snakes out of Ireland", God may be preparing you to drive out some snakes of your own.
