Introduction
As we enter the final stretch of Lent, these days serve as a time of deep reflection, renewal, and preparation for Holy Week. This devotional is designed to guide you through themes of compassion, humility, trust, and discipleship. Let us walk these remaining days with open hearts, seeking to grow closer to Christ and embrace His call to love and serve.
Day 30: A Heart of Compassion
Scripture: Colossians 3:12 – “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”
Reflection:
As we draw closer to the end of Lent, we reflect on the call to embody compassion. Christ’s ministry was marked by deep love and care for others, especially those in need. How can we intentionally clothe ourselves with compassion today?
Prayer:
Lord, soften my heart so that I may see others through Your eyes. Help me to be kind, patient, and humble in my interactions. Let my actions reflect Your love. Amen.
Practice:
Show compassion in a tangible way today. Write a letter, visit someone who is lonely, or extend kindness to a stranger.
Day 31 Carrying Our Cross
Scripture: Luke 9:23 – “Then he said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'”
Reflection:
Following Christ is not always easy. It requires sacrifice, self-denial, and a willingness to trust Him even in difficulties. What are the crosses you carry in your life? How can you surrender them to Jesus?
Prayer:
Jesus, give me strength to bear my cross each day. Help me to embrace both the struggles and joys of discipleship, trusting that You walk beside me always. Amen.
Practice:
Identify one challenge in your life and offer it to God in prayer. Reflect on how Christ carried His cross with love and perseverance.
Day 32 The Power of Humility
Scripture: Philippians 2:3-4 – “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Reflection:
Jesus, the King of Kings, humbled Himself to serve others. He washed His disciples’ feet and gave His life for us. True greatness in God’s kingdom is found in humility. How can we imitate Christ’s humble heart?
Prayer:
Lord, teach me to walk in humility. Help me to set aside my pride and serve others selflessly, just as You have served me. Amen.
Practice:
Find a way to serve someone today without seeking recognition. Consider helping a family member, volunteering, or doing an act of kindness in secret.
Day 33 Trusting in God’s Plan
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Reflection:
Life is full of uncertainties, but God’s plans are always greater than our own. When we surrender our worries to Him, He leads us on the right path. Do we fully trust God with our future?
Prayer:
God I surrender my plans to You. Lead me in Your wisdom and guide my steps according to Your will. Strengthen my trust in You. Amen.
Practice:
Write down one area of your life where you need to trust God more. Spend time in prayer, surrendering it to Him completely.
