Lenten Devotional - Day 1

Scripture: Psalm 5

"Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray." 

The season of Lent is one marked by a time of self-reflection. We are afforded the opportunity to spend 40 days celebrating, contemplating, and even wrestling with our own identity as it pertains to our relationship with God. As we spend this season of Lent "struggling" without those precious sweets, our morning cup of coffee, or our daily fix of social media let us replace that time with prayerful self-reflection in relationship with the God who we so often replace with convenient and comfortable distractions. 

In the midst of our busy lives, how can we prayerfully self-reflect on our relationship with God?   

Loving God, please listen to our prayers. Give us the courage and strength to honestly and diligently reflect on our lives as we pray to become open to the boundless grace you have bestowed upon us. Amen.
