Lenten Reflections

Be still and listen

The last week of your journey may be quite revealing to you, and there is still much to say to the Lord; but for today, be still and listen.

Listening is a quality skill that few have mastered, but is vital to communication in a relationship.

Listen to what God is telling you about what he has revealed over these few weeks. Even if you haven't noticed any change yet in your every day life, God does. Ask him to show you the differences he has made in you during this time of prayer, meditation and sacrifice. Transformation comes through and in Christ no matter how subtle and is always a positive change for the better.

Read: Ecclesiates 5:1-7; Psalm 46:10

Prayer of consecration

Lord,

I confess my sins and failures to you and I am very sorry for having sinned against You.  Give me the strength to seek and accept Your grace and forgiveness.

Lord Jesus, you poured yourself out completely and died for me so that I would have eternal life. I claim that wonderful and indescribable gift of salvation.

Create a pure heart in me, refresh my spirit and renew my mind and body.

I consecrate myself to you Lord and ask that you use me according to your holy will.

I pray in Jesus name.

Amen
