Focus
Let yourself become open to God and the knowledge that comes from the Word. Ask God for peace at this time.

Psalm 119:9-16
9 How can young people keep their way pure? By guarding it according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I seek you; do not let me stray from your commandments. 11 I
treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you. 12 Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes. 13 With my lips I declare all the ordinances of your mouth. 14 I delight in the way of your decrees as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. 16 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word
Reflect
Lent is a wonderful time for meditation as Lent beckons us to declutter from the busyness of our lives and to declutter our living spaces. When we declutter it allows room to rebuild with more constructive thoughts, practices, and possessions. Let us use this time of Lent to think about the things that keep us from a deeper relationship with God.
What kinds of things do you need to be able to meditate? What kinds of things distract you from being able to meditate?
Pray
Give us focus, O Lord in our lives. Thank you for giving us the gift of worshiping you today. Let the message continue to be with us all week. Amen.
Go with God.
