Daily Lent

Dear Heavenly Father,

As I pause in the stillness of this Lenten season, I turn my heart toward the profound truths of Colossians 1:15-20. Here, I am reminded that in you, all things hold together. I ask for your wisdom to illuminate those shadowy corners of my life where darkness may lurk, hindering my view of your grace. Lord, help me to reflect on my relationships, my choices, and my actions through your loving gaze—examining not just what I do, but why I do it.

Imagine a candle flickering in a dimly lit room; that is the essence of your light within me. During this Lent, I want to be that flicker of hope to someone who feels lost. Just as you stepped into our broken world and brought healing through your presence, guide me to reach out with compassion to those in need. Let my words be gentle reminders of your hesed—your steadfast love and kindness.

May I seek opportunities to serve, whether it’s through a simple act of kindness, a listening ear, or even a shared meal with someone who is lonely. In doing so, I pray my actions reflect your character, drawing others not just towards me, but ultimately closer to you.
