Welcome to CK’s Lent Journey for 2024! The past few years our church has been looking at Lent through the lens of taking on certain practices with the intention of letting go of other things in our lives that distract or detract from our lives with God. This year, one of the practices we are recommending for Lent is reflection, whether that is by journaling or through talking with a trusted friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every week on Sunday we will be posting a new set of reflection questions based on themes and areas of our lives that are important to look at on a deeper level. We hope this is a chance to take some time to look inward, to process, to ask intentional questions about your life and bring those reflections to God, asking him to show us what is going well and what might need to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first area of life we are going to reflect on is time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Time:<\/strong> Our days are marked by time.\u00a0 When we do things, what order we do them in, how much we are able to do, all depends on time and how we have ordered our day.\u00a0 It is important, therefore, to stop and reflect on how we spend our time.\u00a0 Our days are a gift from God and we choose how to fill them.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take some time to reflect on our time and how we spend it and why we spend it the way we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reflection: <\/strong>Here are some reflection questions to help you work through this topic.\u00a0 Feel free to answer all of them or just some, and if you\u2019re not sure of the answer, try journaling about why you\u2019re not sure of it\u2026it may just help you figure it out!\u00a0 If you\u2019re an extrovert or a verbal processor, try going through these questions with a friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray with me:<\/strong> Lord, you have given me my days and the time each one brings me to do and be.\u00a0 Guide me through my days and the decisions I make on how to spend them.\u00a0 Give me wisdom to know what can and should be done and what needs to be left for another time.\u00a0 Lead me towards good things to fill my time and away from things that are not. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bonus:<\/strong> If you make it through the thematic list of journaling prompts this week and would like some more general ones to guide you, try some of these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Welcome to CK’s Lent Journey for 2024!
