A Lenten Reflection
As we enter this season of Lent let us reflect on what it means and why we are here. What does God expect from us and what do we have to give. Lent often feels like a season of
subtraction—less noise, less hurry, fewer distractions. But beneath all that sub-traction is a deeper invita-tion: God is making room to speak. Our devotion to this Lenten season
centers on the idea that silence isn’t empty. It’s expectant. It’s the space whereas God’s voice becomes distinguishable from the swirl of everything else. As you enter into prayer
today, imagine God not as distant or demanding, but as someone already leaning toward you—patient, attentive, ready to meet you in the quiet. You don’t have to manufacture anything.
You don’t have to “perform” prayer. You simply show up, and God fills the space. Let this be a day of receiving rather than striving. Put these things into practice and watch what
God will do with them.
1. Be Still (2 minutes)
Sit in silence. Let your breathing slow.
Say quietly: “Here I am, Lord.”
2. Listen (5 minutes)
Ask God: “What are You inviting me toward today?”
Don’t force an answer. Just notice what rises gently. Listen for Gods still voice
3. Respond (1 minute)
Offer one simple sentence back to God—gratitude, longing, or willingness.
Be present to Him and he will be present to you.
