LENTEN OVERVIEW: There are 40 days in Lent. (Sundays in this period are not counted as Lent.) It is traditional to give up something for Lent but it can also follow four (4) disciplines:

Repentance – self-examination
Prayer – Pray about life issues, including listening to God’s word
Fasting – Limiting or eliminating something you enjoy, as you feel you
are led to do
Service – Giving up personal time for others’ benefit

PREPARE: Pick a time when you will not be interrupted. Have beside you your Bible and light a candle. The purpose of the Devos is to momentarily simplify your spirituality by focusing on one thought or action. It is meant to be a step towards a new awareness using some of our God-given senses and attributes.

General Daily Outline

[Light the candle]

Say Out-loud
Now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation.

[Daily Focus]

Say Out-loud
Almighty and merciful God, you love us and make all things new in Christ. Purify the poverty of our nature by the riches of your kindness. Make known your heavenly glory in the renewal of my life, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
