Alive: Lent Devotionals

DAY 41 OF 47

Alive: Know who to run to

As we look around at our world right now, there is so much that can cause our hearts to be overwhelmed with sorrow.

In today’s reading, the word “hope” is “qavah” in Hebrew. It means to expect and to eagerly long for. This waiting on the Lord isn't a passive waiting, it's active and full of faith that God can move.

The prophet Isaiah was a man who knew hardship and difficulty, but he also knew what it meant to run to and wait on the Lord. So no matter the situation, let's take this invitation to eagerly and expectantly look to Him.

Prayer:

Father,

We come to You honestly with all that is difficult, broken and hard in the world around us. May it not drive us away from You but towards You. We look eagerly towards You to move, to heal our land and to restore. Amen.

About this Plan

Alive: Lent Devotionals

These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. The world is full of noise and distraction – bright lights that lead us away from the depth of life, keeping us in the shallows. The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
