Lent, Peace, and Jesus’ Offer

Where do you go for peace if you don't have God in your life, if you're not connected on a moment-by-moment basis? Jesus Christ has an incredible offer for you.

— Rick Warren —

Jesus’ offer in Matthew 11 is truly an offer worth taking. Please note–the peace/rest we receive by growing closer to Him isn’t instantaneous; it is cultivated through a consistent relationship with him.

Spending time with Him each morning while answering the three questions below and following through on them is a great way to cultivate your relationship with Christ on a daily basis.


Journal your thoughts:

What am I grateful for today?

In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?

What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?

Prayer:

God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
