My Vision of You Calming the Storms-Lent 24, 2020

Prayer Focus: No Storm Too Big

Thank You, Lord Jesus, that there is no storm so big, no wave so terrifying, no problem so complicated, no trouble so debilitating, and no strife in our lives that is beyond Your ability to resolve it for our good and Your glory. When we’re terrified beyond reasoning, when You seem far away or fast asleep, increase our faith so we would seek You and be amazed at Your actions to calm the storms and calm our spirits. We trust that we are more valuable in Your eyes than sparrows or lilies because we have been endowed with Your image. Our names are written in heaven and we rejoice! You know us. We are Your sheep, the sheep of Your pasture and You, Lord, are the Good Shepherd who protects us. You have compassion on us, our names are engraved on the palms of Your hands. You will not forget us nor forsake us. As the storms of life swirl around us, Lord Jesus, remind us that in Your Word, You commanded the sea “Quiet! Be still” and it was. Give us the peace that transcends all understanding to face the days ahead. We love You, Lord Jesus, and our eyes are on You for our deliverance. Amen.

Advent and Lenten devotionals remain among my most popular offerings. You don’t want to miss this encounter with God to prepare your heart for Easter! Understanding that prior years’ devotionals remain popular, you may want to have access to a full series ahead of time:

Lent 2013 looked at The Letter to the Romans: Paul’s Masterpiece to reclaim foundations of our Christian heritage and began February 13, 2013.
A very special and ever popular offering was Lent 2014’s Be Still and Know that I AM God which can be obtained through the archives beginning in March 2014.
Lent 2015 began on February 18, 2015 with a series entitled With Christ in the Upper Room: Final Preparations. We explored what is often called “The Upper Room Discourse” found in John chapters 13-17.
ReKindle, the Lent 2016 series, began on February 10, 2016 and encouraged us to rekindle our spiritual lives.
Light: There’s Nothing Like It was the 2017 Lent series and explored this metaphor often used to portray Christ. It is archived beginning March 1, 2017.
Lent 2018, we explored the questions of Pi and Chi (the Greek letter beginning the word Christos, which means Christ, Messiah, the Anointed One). We asked and answered the questions “Why?” from the movie Life of Pi as we discovered the uniqueness of Jesus Christ in a world of many faiths.
Lent 2019 gave us a deeper window into Easter “More to the Easter Story” since we miss so much when we rely only on a superficial understanding of the work of Christ. These devotionals are archived beginning March 6, 2019.
