Lenten Devotional
By Julie Burroughs

Scripture Reading:

Philippians 4:6,

Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Reflection:

 My Facebook timeline popped up a memory this morning describing a list of what I called “trials” that occurred all in one day at the time. Those trials seem trivial now in the light of what the world is facing with COVID-19 and all the actions being taken to battle the pandemic. We have a lot to worry about, but let’s turn that worry into prayer!

An important element to prayer is to fill it with trust in and praise for our Lord. The ability to fill our words and actions with trust and praise, especially in times of adversity, sets us apart as Christians and, by doing so, serves as witness to the world.

Prayer:

Lord, Let us never forget we are Yours and You deeply care for us. Grant me Your peace as a sign to others that You are in control no matter what.
