Today we learn to let go of our precious “busyness” and embrace this time of waiting. Let’s use this time to the full as we experience what it’s like to be still and know that God is in control!

God wants us all to dance! We let go of and discard any sense of dread that lingers so that we can fully enjoy the presence of the Living God all around us and within.

Today we let go of our own perception and beliefs about self: we want to respond to God’s desire that we love ourselves as He loved us first. I cannot fully love others to the extent Jesus asks us to ad His disciples unless and until there is a radical overhaul in my heart and mind that leads to a healthy self-love.

Adjusting our focus from ourselves and our way of responding to the situations and circumstances and people that surround us to Christ alone is our challenge today. Focus on Jesus will change you!

Lent is known as a time to “repent” which actually means to literally turn around and travel in a completely different direction. Today’s challenge asks us to embrace a spirit of change and ask God for the Grace of changing my inner life to be more closely aligned with His purposes for us.

Who of us can add one more minute to their life by worrying? This question Jesus asks brings us to our challenge for today: letting go of worry and fostering a deeper spirit of trust in God’s all-encompassing love.

Today we let go of all forms of negate destructive speech! We all have great power in our speech to speak life or death into another. Let’s focus on transforming or family and our living by using the holy gift of our speech!

Today we look at our speech patterns. Do I speak to others with encouragement and complement of am I critical, perhaps sarcastic and foster a negative spirit wherever I happen to be? Today we hear how powerful the tongue can be in choosing to speak new life or destruction into the circumstances around me.

The question we ask ourselves today is “Am I giving God my very best?” Let’s look to our efforts to be pleasing to God in all areas of our daily living and hold nothing back from the One Who has given His all to us.

There are just so many things that keep our focus off Jesus in favor of those thoughts and worries about what’s going on around us. We call these distractions! Today we endeavor to let go of what distracts us to keep our eyes trained on Jesus the founder and perfector of our faith.
