Lenten Reflections

Go Deeper still

Today is Palm Sunday and this is our final day of Lent as we begin our Holy week. This is the end to our fasting and prayer, or is it?

No matter how deep you are in the spiritual waters now because of where God has brought you, wade in even deeper still.

Don't be afraid, don't doubt and don't worry about what is going to get wet in His "Ocean of Mercy".

Go on... take the plunge, I double dog dare you....Don't stop at the point where you can still keep your feet under you and touch firm ground.

What are you still holding onto that prevents you from gowing into the deep?

What are your hesitations to living a more Spirit-filled life in an all-out faith?

What illusion of control are you still clinging to?

Go all in and allow yourself to be carried away in God's Ocean of Mercy.

Fellow believers joined you in prayer during these 40 days but, it's just the beginning of a deeper and more intimate relationship with God.

Pray and He will continue to call you and challenge you to dive deeper then allow Him to take complete control of your life.

May this coming Holy week be the most revealing, healing and life changing ever as you journey toward Easter.

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
