Sunday 19 March: Space to reflect and pray

 

Back to The Lent Encounter home

Reassuring promises of God

Read today's devotional. Or click the play button to listen.

Here are some suggestions for your prayer and reflection at the end of this week:

  • Thank God for his commitment to us, and his long faithfulness to his covenant even when we break it 
  • Thank him that he is with us no matter what. Think of times in your life when you’ve known his presence, and times when you can see as you look back that he was there 
  • Pray for light in dark places – where there’s sadness, abuse, war or famine 
  • Look for ways in which you could be good news to the poor 
  • Think of those you’ve hurt, and ask them for forgiveness. Think of those who’ve hurt you, and forgive them if you can 
  • Thank God for the promise of Christ’s return, and think of what that means for you today

How to use The Lent Encounter devotional

If you have two minutes: Listen to the audio reflection and ponder how it might be relevant in your life.

If you have up to ten minutes: Read the Bible passage and listen to the audio reflection; you might want to keep a small journal, or note on your phone, to jot down words and phrases that jump out at you. Finish with a brief prayer to put what you have read and heard into practice.

What if I miss a day(s)?: Don’t worry, life happens! Just pick up the devotional again on the current day, and, if you wish, you can use the space for reflection on Sundays to listen to those reflections you may have missed.
