Week 5 - 5 minute Lenten Mini-Devos 2012

By Flossie Peitsch

Air Theme

LENTEN OVERVIEW: There are 40 days in Lent. (Sundays in this period are not counted as Lent.) It is traditional to give up something for Lent but it can also follow four (4) disciplines:

Repentance – self-examination

Prayer – Pray about life issues, including listening to God’s word

Fasting – Limiting or eliminating something you enjoy, as you feel you

are led to do

Service - Giving up personal time for others’ benefit

PREPARE: Pick a time when you will not be interrupted. Have beside you your Bible and light a candle. The purpose of the Devos is to momentarily simplify your spirituality by focusing on one thought or action. It is meant to be a step towards a new awareness using some of our God-given senses and attributes.
