In the Garden With Jesus - a Lent Journey for TeensSample

Jesus had habits. Things He often did. We also have habits, things that we do on repeat. Most of them we don’t even realise we do. Maybe you get up every morning at the same time. Or you start your day with coffee. Maybe you don’t even realise you have these habits. For 6 of our 16 awake hours, we are aware of what we are doing; the rest is habitual. Auto-pilot.

It is important to be aware of our habits. Our habits shape us. We become what we do. Jesus was aware of His habits. He chose to do certain things in a certain way. The invitation He extends to us is to adopt His habits.

Exercise:

Ask Jesus to show you your biggest habits and how they influence your life.

Prayer:

I ask for an awareness of Your work in my life.
