Feeling distant from God? You’re not alone.  The road between us becomes cluttered with the weight of old hurts, fear, shame, and the endless demands of daily life. The ancient call of the prophets, Isaiah and John, invites us to face that inner clutter, recognize what blocks us, and open a clear, welcoming highway so we can experience God’s healing presence in our lives.   Text Matthew 3:3 “Prepare the way of the Lord.” POD 282
