Lent Journey - 2016

DAY 14 OF 47

LENT IS FOR LONGING

DAILY PRAYER REQUEST: Lord, rekindle my longing for you.

DAILY THOUGHT: HOLLOW SUBSTITUTES
Often we try to satisfy our longing for God with substitutes. These substitutes range from food to sex to success to religious activities, and the list goes on and on. There is nothing wrong with these things when they find their proper place in our lives. But
when they become the most important desires in our lives, we always end up in an empty place. They simply cannot fulfill those eternal longings that God has placed in our hearts. Lent is a time to face up to these substitutes for God in our lives?

DAILY PRACTICE:
Pray the daily prayer request. In the silence today ask the Lord to reveal to you how you try to fulfill your longing for God with lesser substitutes. Speak with the Lord about whatever comes to your mind. Listen to what the Lord may say to you.
