Our personal journey with Christ is one where we are
constantly learning, questioning, reflecting and reaffirming
our faith. I often find myself having to reaffirm to myself
what it means to be a follower of Christ. A conversation with
God on a daily basis is something that we need to have so
we can reaffirm our beliefs, thoughts and prayers. We
mention the troubles and tribulations we face, we give
thanks for all the good we have. Yes, it is part of a daily
conversation. Think of Christ as our travelling partner, and
the daily conversations we have with him would be what
you would have with your best friend. You cannot get a
better friend than Christ. We talk to him about the day we
had—the nice things that happened, the fears we have, and
the anticipation of things to come. We ask God to
understand our plight and to keep us safe. It is our daily one-
on-one with God to say, here’s what I did, here’s what I am
going to do and here are the obstacles in my way. I use that
in work and it works wonders. Imagine how much more
powerful this conversation would be with God.

These Lenten meditations were written by the people
of St. Barnabas' for the people of St. Barnabas' as part
of our recognition of the 50th anniversary of the founding
of this church. We hope that you will find them helpful
in your own Lenten devotions.
