Scripture Reading
Luke 4:13
And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
Reflection
Jesus endured every form of temptation and did not yield — and this matters enormously for us. The writer of Hebrews tells us that because he was tested in every way, he is able to help those who are being tested. We do not face our trials alone. On this First Sunday of Lent, we begin the forty-day journey in the company of a Savior who has already walked it.
Prayer for Today
Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and allowing me to cry out to you in my times of need.
It is amazing to me that the Lord of the Universe would take time to listen to me and to care about what I say.
God, there are things happening around me right now that I do not understand. Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid.
Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord.
I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You.
I beseech you for strength and for wisdom that I would be able to endure this situation and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus name. Amen.
