What is one area of your life
that you most long to be transformed?
What promise of God is the most
difficult for you to believe? Why?
When you feel exhausted, empty
or a sense of longing, what quick fix do you use to try and satisfy, avoid or
numb those feelings? What have been the
consequences of this practice?
Light a candle and take
whatever posture feels right.
Pray over the answers to these
questions.
Tell God where you long to
experience his transforming power.
Confess your doubts and what
promises are most difficult for you to believe.
Confess the ways you have tried
to satisfy, avoid or numb yourself.
Ask God to fill those places,
to give you a desire for His presence instead of seeking satisfaction
elsewhere.
Ask God to reveal to you a
Lenten practice that will help you lean into his presence over the next few
weeks. This could be something you want
to give up for Lent or something you want to add into your routine.
What Lenten practice or abstinence
do you feel led into?
