Devotion 3/5, Our Lenten Journey Begins
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
We prayerfully plan our day. We make appointments with people for the future to address their needs, hear their concerns, or discuss issues and projects involving them or us. But we must always live humbly, recognizing that none of our plans will be valuable unless they come from the Father!
Today is the beginning of Lent, our 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
As we begin this journey, let us focus on the scars of the hands of Jesus every day and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance seeking our purpose in God’s kingdom.
Holy God and righteous Father, please bless me as I seek to discern your will for my plans and decisions. I recognize that each breath I take is a gift and that each success I enjoy is because of your grace. Please use me to bring you glory and help me find your path for my life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
