• 0:00
  Hello and welcome to Faithful Friday.
• 0:02
  Today we'll spend a few moments in scripture, reflection, and prayer.
• 0:07
  If you're driving or unable to pause right now, simply listen and come back to this reflection later when you can give it your full attention.
• 0:15
  Today's scripture comes from the Gospel of John, chapter 14, verses 1 through 7.
• 0:22
  Let not your hearts be troubled.
• 0:25
  Believe in God, believe also in me.
• 0:28
  In my father's house are many rooms.
• 0:31
  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
• 0:36
  And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you myself, that where I am you may also be, and you know the way where I am going.
• 0:48
  Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going.
• 0:52
  How can we know the way?
• 0:54
  Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
• 1:01
  No one comes to the Father but by me.
• 1:03
  If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.
• 1:07
  Henceforth you know him and have seen him.
• 1:15
  I'll ask you to reflect on what situation you're trying to control instead of trusting God to lead.
• 1:23
  I'm going to invite you to pause this recording now.
• 1:26
  Let's spend a few moments talking with God about what you heard.
• 1:30
  Ask him what he wants you to understand, where he is calling you to grow, and what steps he wants you to take next.
• 1:37
  When you're ready, come back and we'll close together in prayer.
• 1:47
  Welcome back.
• 1:48
  Let's pray the prayer Jesus taught us.
• 1:51
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
• 2:00
  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
• 2:13
  Amen.
• 2:14
  As you go into your day, carry the scripture with you.
• 2:17
  Ask yourself: this week, where do you see God showing up in your life?
• 2:23
  Thank you for joining me for Faithful Friday.
• 2:25
  I'll see you next week.
