Week 2, 2020: Days 5,6,7,8,9,10
How is your prayer time going for Week Two? Has your time being STILL felt more natural? Do you sense some continuity from one day to the next? Do you find that you’re beginning to look forward to the time? What insights, A-HA moments, or revelation have you gained? Has any verse in particular stuck with you all week? Please share with all of us. Your progress becomes encouragement for another.
For me
Consistency is a game changer. Even though I write these devotionals and have been doing it awhile… consistent time with Him influences my day for the better. I know this FIRST HAND to be true and even still I go through patches of inconsistency. I have appreciated the accountability of walking through Lent with you all.
Nugget
My favorite nugget to share is from one faithful reader who learned about humility that she has never forgotten. “When my cousin and I were about 10, we were spending a week together at my house to enjoy the big County Fair activities. She had a habit of keeping her mouth open ALL the time and after being around her for a couple of days I was pretty sick of it. One day we were walking to the fairgrounds and I felt somewhat embarrassed just being with her. Finally I had had enough and told her WHY DON’T YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I kid you not, the moment those words came out of my mouth a fly came in. It is a lesson I won’t forget.”
Housekeeping
If you’re still having technology problems, I am sorry. Automated emails make this possible, but automated emails can cause issues too. If you DON’t receive the daily email most likely it has gone to your spam. Check that first, if you still can’t find it, please reach out.
For those of you who didn’t receive the graphic of information regarding my talk on March 18…

I have not missed a single day! Have printed each challenge and have read and re-read to make marks and circle words. Remembering each day how much God loves me and how faithful he is in spite of my weak faith….thankful and filled with praise!
Peggy, Wow… wonderful. May the Lord bless your obedience as you tuck these truths into your heart.
I have been astounded this week how every scripture applies to me. God has gotten up close and personal. Stressful circumstances have piled up and God knew ahead of time what I would need. Thank you for leading me to listen to him, Debbie.
I Appreciate my daily scripture and this Lenten walk with you! Thank you for your guidance! Julie
Amen!
Up close and personal. Yikes. I get it. Sometimes uncomfortable. But thank you for listening.
thank you Debbie for being our guide during this season. God bless you.
No thanks necessary. I am blessed in the process. Stay the course.
Debbie, everyday you address issues that are spot on in my own life! I love your insight so much I have added friends to your lenten Challenge. Keep it coming my friend!!!
Thank you Deena! So pleased to hear from YOU. And I’m grateful to know I’m not the only one who shares my struggles. Thank, too for sharing with others.
This Series has given me an opportunity to draw closer in Christ to my sister-in-law. She and I are enjoying this together, though hundreds of miles apart. Then we call or text or email our thoughts about each day’s devotion. I agree with others, it is amazing how applicable these scriptures have been. Thanks for this opportunity to share with someone I love.
Amen. How wonderful to walk through lent with someone you love. What a fabulous benefit to technology. I appreciate knowing that.
My aha? Both when reading Philippians 4:8,9, and again this morning listening to the sermon, brief thought in my head of ‘humph. Wish my friend was here to hear this’, followed by a better, lingering thought: “God and I are working on OUR relationship right now. Be still.”. I need to let Philippians 4:8,9 speak to me, and remind me to fill my mind with the best, not the worst.
YES! When I end my spin class the instructor says… breathe in the good, and exhale the rest. Yes indeed Sheri. EXHALE!
Being a part of this is enriching, easy as a retiree to do devotions. Have been watching EWTN daily Mass, pure joy! Also, several times daily do the be silent. God instantly gave me a smack last week, one of my sins is judging others, Truly love when God shows me my sins! Do not want to be left alone in sins!
Thank, Debbie!
I admire your reaction to God’s smack. I sure don’t love being made aware of my sin. I do however LOVE the lightness I feel afterwards. Thanks for sharing Marilyn.
God shows he still cares, even at my age, still here at 83, must have a reason, much to learn and grow!
Thanks again for your Lenten devotional!
Yes indeed he still cares. Love to you Marilyn.
We are on a trip with family. Crazy busy but wonderful. Grateful for your message each day to calm me when I fall in bed and pray.
Thanks for checking in. Stay safe while traveling.
Today is my birthday and I am 68 years old! I thank God every night when I pray for my health along with my family and friends. I also love our church which is 28 miles away and now I am a Deacon, I am able to help members of our church, serve food and fellowship with people attending Dance it Up, and more. I am so happy to help other people in our church. Thanks for your leadership at our church. I printed all of last years devotionals and glad I did. Thanks for all YOU do at SPC, When the call went out to fill spots for the Great Banquet … I answered the call. All my love.
May you be blessed to be His blessing. AND Happy Happy Birthday Debra.
