Space to reflect and pray

  • Pray for creation: in what ways would you like God to empower you to be a better steward of his creation?
  • Pray for the poor: pray for the poor around the world, in your neighbourhood, on your street. Pray for those suffering under the cost of living crisis. Pray for those in spiritual poverty through lack of love, forgiveness, and acceptance.
  • Pray for those in conflict: pray for the families torn apart by conflict, and for God’s peace to replace violence.
  • Take a moment to look over your own life for ways in which you have done wrong or failed to do good: bring those moments to the Lord, confident in his forgiveness.

How to use The Lent Encounter devotional

If you have two minutes: Listen to the audio reflection and ponder how it might be relevant in your life.

If you have up to ten minutes: Read the Bible passage and listen to the audio reflection; you might want to keep a small journal, or note on your phone, to jot down words and phrases that jump out at you. Finish with a brief prayer to put what you have read and heard into practice.

What if I miss a day(s)?: Don’t worry, life happens! Just pick up the devotional again on the current day, and, if you wish, you can use the space for reflection on Sundays to listen to those reflections you may have missed.
