… For everyone who raises himself up will be
y
humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be raised
up. Luke 14:11
Mon 23rd
Lord, as I approach Lent, help me to let go of all my anxieties. Help
me to trust that only in letting go am I able to let you in.
Tues 24th
Today think about how best you can make this Lent a journey towards
God. What do you need to be or do to enrich your relationship with God?
Weds 25th Ash Wednesday
The ashes that seal our foreheads remind us of our transience, but they also
remind us that Christ’s death bore new life in our hearts. May this symbol
give us hope this day.
Thurs 26th
So often we approach our faith as a list of tasks or qualities that we need
to achieve, and we feel so disappointed when we then fail. Let us
remove this list from our hearts and instead, ask for the freedom to love
the world as Jesus loves us.
Fri 27th
In Lent we tend to give up things or take on extra acts of kindness. So today,
let us pause to thank God for those sacrifices and acts of kindness that are
done for us.
Sat 28th
Reflect on whom you most need to be reconciled with and why. Then
ask God to help you with this reconciliation, even if only the smallest
of steps can be made right now.
