Lent 6 Devo

“Transformation: What Now?”
2 Timothy 2: 11-13
Devotional

A Brief Introduction:
During the season of Lent our weekly parish devotional is going to be a bit different. Instead of a daily scripture passage with reflection and questions, there will be one devotional with a spiritual practice you to engage for the entire week. Perhaps one day during the week you would like to invite others to your home for a lite meal to reflect on the scripture together. Perhaps you would like to read it every day on your own and see what new ways God speaks to your heart. Let us seek transformation anew this Lenten season. 

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2: 11-13
Read the scripture daily. Read it slowly. What is God bringing to your attention through this passage? 

Questions to consider:
  • What promises to God do we want to make at the end of this Lenten journey?
  • How is your relationship with God? How can it develop more fully? 
  • What questions do you have for God about God’s will?

Spiritual Discipline. Create a Rule of Life
Create a Rule for Life – creating a unique rhythm for your life that opens you to the presence of God. 
Scripture: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10b)
Spiritual Practice: 

  • Create rhythms that embrace both your desires and limits
  • Develop repeated habits that draw you deeper into the love of the Holy Three, Holy One
  • Periodically assessing your spiritual journey for your own personal growth (note: this is not done by comparing your spiritual life to that of others)
  • Stop throughout the day to intentionally listen for God
  • Have symbols around you that remind you of Christ’s continual presence (crosses, prayer beads, etc).
