May your lives be blessed through this Lenten season – “Hear our Prayer”
Lent began on February 17th with Ash Wednesday. This begins the 40 days (excluding Sundays) of walking to the cross with Jesus. Lutheran Tract Mission has produced another Lenten Devotional for this year focussing on ‘Prayer’. Prayer was very important to Jesus. It was a time he could talk to his Heavenly Father to receive strength for his ministry and for all that lay ahead of him. Jesus used prayer not only to seek his Father’s help for himself, for his disciples, others touched by his ministry and even us!
This new Lenten Devotional is downloadable to be read as a flip book on your device or can be printed in booklet form. We encourage congregations to print them off for their members and as an outreach, adding service times to the back!
In Christ, Anne Hansen
Lutheran Tract Mission Development Officer
