Day 7 | Preparing for What's Ahead
Before the miracles, before the teachings, before the cross, Jesus spent forty days alone in the wilderness. It was kind of like his own season of Lent. He fasted and prayed, and through it all he faced temptation. For Jesus, this wasn’t just a test – it was preparation.
You could be walking through a tough season right now. Maybe you're facing struggles that feel overwhelming – and forcing yourself to give something up, shake up your routine, or spend more time doing just one more thing feels like too much.
What if, instead of seeing this Lent journey as an obstacle, you looked at it like Jesus did – as preparation? God often uses challenging seasons to strengthen us for what’s ahead. Lent is a time to lean in, trust God, and remember that he is preparing you for something greater.
Pray: God, help me see this season as preparation. Strengthen me for what’s ahead. Amen.

It’s a 40-day period leading up to Easter spent reflecting on Jesus' journey to the cross and preparing our hearts for the celebration of his resurrection. Ultimately, Lent begins with an invitation from God: Return to me. Spend this Lenten season diving into our 6-part Bible Reading Plan designed to help you set aside distractions and refocus on how God is moving in your life.
