Preparing for Easterنموونە

The Judean Wilderness: When in the wilderness, keep walking.

“Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness” (Luke 4:1 NASB).

Reflection 

• Reflect on a recent time when you felt like you were in the “wilderness.” What did you do to feel closer to God during that time? What would you do differently next time?
• What are some things you can do now to prepare for a future “wilderness” time?

Prayer

Jesus, I ask you to redeem this desert experience I’m in. Please give me the strength and resilience to keep walking until I’m on the other side. Remind me that your genuine love is always with me, even if I can’t feel it.

*If you aren’t currently in the wilderness, ask God to show you how you might prepare for a future desert encounter.
