Ready to Grow in Your Faith and Prayer Life This Lent?
A prayer and an invitation to grow in your prayer life
Hi!
Can you believe that next week, March 5th, is the beginning of Lent?!
Lent is a 40-day season of reflection, repentance, and preparation leading up to Resurrection Sunday. It’s a time to draw closer to God, remembering Jesus’ journey to the cross and the depth of His love for us. Many observe Lent by praying, fasting, or giving up distractions to focus on Christ. No matter how you choose to observe this season, Lent is an invitation to rest in God’s presence and embrace His grace anew.
Below you’ll find a Lenten prayer and a special invitation to help you grow in your faith, prayer life, and special needs parenting journey this Lent.
A Lenten Prayer for Special Needs Parents
Heavenly Father,
As we enter this Lenten season, we come before You with hearts that long for more of Your presence. In the midst of our daily challenges, remind us that You are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Lord, You see the burdens we carry—our worries for our children, our weariness, and our moments of doubt. But You also see our love, our faith, and our desire to care for our children as You care for us. Help us to cast our anxieties on You, knowing that You care for us deeply (1 Peter 5:7).
Teach us, Lord, to walk in step with Jesus, who carried the cross with love and surrender. When we feel overwhelmed, remind us that Your grace is sufficient and Your power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Give us strength when we are weary, patience when we are tested, and joy in the small victories.
This Lent, draw us closer to You. Help us to embrace the gift of Your love, to trust in Your plan, and to rest in Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May we find renewal in Your presence and hope in the promise of Christ’s resurrection.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Join the Praying Scripture Lenten Book Club on Facebook
I’m hosting a Praying Scripture Lenten Book Club on Facebook where we will read and discuss several chapters of On the Same Page with God: Embracing the Power of Praying Scripture together—and I’d love for you to join me!
Lent is a season of drawing closer to God, making it the perfect time to build up a new spiritual habit, such as praying God’s Word. We’ll read through select chapters of the book that will help us grow in our spiritual practice of praying Scripture, and that will help us prepare our hearts for Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Throughout the book you’ll read testimonies of how praying Scripture helped me in my special needs parenting journey, my faith, and my prayer life, and I hope you can experience the same transformation and growth in your own.
If you’ve been wanting to grow in prayer and your practice of praying Scripture, this is a great opportunity to do so with others who are on the same journey. Just grab your copy of On the Same Page with God (Available on Amazon or Barnes & Noble) and join us in the Facebook group!
I can’t wait to go on this journey with you! Feel free to reply to this email with any questions.
Please feel free to hit reply and let me know how I can be praying for you, your child(ren), and your family. I’m here for you!
Here’s to embracing this special life, this Lenten season, and praying Scripture together,
Jenn
