In the Garden With Jesus - a Lent Journey for TeensSample

Get up!

It is a great gift when Jesus comes to us and wakes us up. It’s not to make us aware of how bad we are. It’s an invitation to more, to better. To become aware that I am sleeping is huge. If I don’t know that I’m sleeping, I’ll never want it another way. I can’t wake up myself.

Therefore, my only hope is in Jesus. I can ask Him to wake me up for Him. I ask Him to make me more aware of Him. When I become aware that I have fallen asleep, I can turn to Him and tell Him this is how I will live if He doesn’t wake me up.

Exercise:

Ask Holy Spirit to wake you up to His presence today.

Prayer:

God, I ask for a deep awareness of Your love for me and Your work in me.
