Day 17: Holy God, open our eyes to see where in our lives we may be replicating the actions of the moneychangers in the temple, creating barriers that hinder others from experiencing your love and grace. Remind us that, like the temple, our hearts were meant to be dwelling places for your Spirit, not marketplaces of self-interest. Guide us to remove these obstacles with compassion and love, allowing your light to shine through and draw others closer to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Gracious God, on this Third Sunday in Lent, we gather in your presence with hearts open to your grace. As we journey through this sacred season, deepen our understanding of Your love and mercy. Guide us in reflection, repentance, and renewal. May the lessons of this Sunday inspire us to live more fully in your ways, embracing the transformative power of your love. Strengthen us as we continue our Lenten journey, and may the joy of Easter’s promise illuminate our path. Amen.
Day 16: Gracious God, on this day, we reflect on the journey of discipleship and the call to take up our cross and follow Jesus. Grant us the peace that comes from knowing you are with us every step of the way. Renew our strength and refresh our spirits as we walk in faithfulness and obedience to your will. Amen.
3.1.24
Day 15 – God, amid this Lenten journey, we lift our hearts to you amidst the devastating fire in the Panhandle. We seek your strength to persevere in our commitments. As we take up our cross, we also carry the burden of those affected by the fire. Comfort the grieving, protect the displaced, and guide all in the face of this trial. May our lives witness your love and grace, bringing hope and restoration to those in need. Amen
