Listen To Lent

These materials are offered to you as a way to listen to and pray through the season of Lent; a season of reflection, prayer and growth. The lessons are from the Daily Readings of the ELW and are intended to read us up to and away from the Sundays in Lent. The readings that begin on Wednesday lead us toward the Sunday readings and the Monday and Tuesday readings lead us away from Sunday.

Offered here is a simple way to make use of the readings each day, may you find it helpful to your Lenten discipline.


Begin

In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

The First Lesson

The Psalm


The Second Lesson

The Gospel.

Reflect

Spend a few moments reflecting on a word or phrase or question that caught your attention. Write something about it if you are so moved.

The Prayers

Bring before God your thoughts, concerns and celebrations.

Close with the Lord’s Prayer

Benediction

The Lord Almighty order our days and our deeds in peace. Amen.

Enjoy the journey. Let us pray together.

Thursday

Psalm 63:1-8
Daniel 3:19-30
Revelation 2:8-11
All three readings for today point to comfort and safety and assurance in God's presence - David writes of God's steadfast love and protection - Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego are protected in the midst of the fiery furnace because they stood firm in their faith. And in Revelation, the angel writes to Smyrna - "Do not fear what you are about to suffer" ... "Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life"
Be strong, be true, and even in the midst of adversity and testing and suffering, remember God's promises. He will protect you and see you through your times of trial. We know that when we get through the trials of this life, we cannot be harmed in the life to come!
