"Get down on your knees and pray. Ask God for the gift, open your heart to receive it. If you feel as though you have grown distant from God, I wonder which one of you has moved." ~ Famous football coach Lou Holtz

We often stop short of coming to Christ because of shame, fear, guilt, pride, or whatever is holding us back.

Let us today fall to our knees, asking God for the gifts we so desperately need.

Gospel: John 4:5-42
