This is a guided prayer for the first week of Lent.

This week our meditation passage (released on 2.12.24) was Matthew 14:13-21. In this account, Jesus feeds the 5000 with food that was meant for one meal. In our meditation, we focused on the concept of scarcity versus abundance and trusting God to provide even when we can’t see how he will do it.

This guided prayer will lead you into a few peaceful moments with God as you confess your need for him and ask him to help you trust him more.

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. 14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Praise his name!

His loyal love endures,

and he is faithful through all generations.

3        Know this: God is God, and God, God.

                        He made us; we didn’t make him.

                        We’re his people, his well-tended sheep.

4        Enter with the password: “Thank you!”

                        Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
