The Breath of Lentنموونە

As we prepare for the coming of Holy Week, the prince of this world will attempt to distract us from focusing on all we can receive from what these days represent. Distraction is one of Satan's greatest weapons. When we allow the world's many voices to occupy our minds, we cannot know the calming presence of the Lord.

Today's scripture urges us to step back before moving forward. Remember what it was like to retreat to a parent's arms, and distractions seemed to melt away in the safety and security of their embrace.

Today, when the many voices loom and distractions overtake you…run to Jesus, rest in His embrace, and pray the breath prayer:

Inhale: Lord, make me more aware

Exhale: of all You've done for me.
