Sunday 5 March: Space to reflect and pray

 

Back to The Lent Encounter home

The gospel

Read today's devotional. Or click the play button to listen.

Here are some suggestions for your prayer and reflection at the end of this week:

  • Consider just how good the good news of the gospel is. Reflect on this and give thanks to God
  • Are you willing to count the cost of following Jesus? Is there an area of your life where you know you could be following Jesus better, but it would be costly? Reflect on this and pray for help
  • Do you believe in your heart that your identity is in Christ, that you are a loved child of God with direct access to him? If you struggle with this, you might like to look up some Bible verses that help to remind you of these truths
  • Have you considered yourself as an ‘ambassador’ before? In what ways can you act as an ‘ambassador’ in your everyday life?

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.
