Night 3: Ros and I prayed together. Although it was just us, we were grateful for the time to really give to God our worries and prayers on our hearts.
Night 4: We met in the 'upper room' of Anna & Tim's house. Candles were lit, music played and on a table in the centre of the room was a bowl of salt water, a plate of bitter herbs and beside that a bowl of honey and bread. We dipped the bitter herbs into the salt water and meditated on times of bitterness. Then we took the bread, dipping it in the honey, celebrating or praying for the good, joyful times.
Night 5: Thinking about Jesus death, and that time of darkness...questioning...we turned off all electricity in the flat and prayed in the silence and candle light with Jo, Tim, Anna and Claire. We spent a long time just sitting in silence...it was so quiet all I could hear were my ears ringing, God's peace was with us, teaching us to be still and sit with Him.
Night 6: Anna came to join Ros and I for our final night before our Easter Feast the next day. We prayed about the day. Having prayed every night over the week I found my prayers were moving more from sharing my hopes and fears with God, to pure worship, declaring His goodness and thinking upon our saviour, King Jesus!
