Mosaiek Church Lent 2025: Jesus' Questions in SufferingНамуна

O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water.

-Psalm 63:1 (NLT)

In John 6:35, Jesus says, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger.” All the searching we experience in life - whether for love, acceptance, or belonging - finds its fulfillment in Christ. Our hearts are restless until they find rest in God (Augustine). Jesus is the One who satisfies the hunger in our souls, the thirst for something more. During Lent, as we strip away distractions and focus on Him, we begin to see that He is all we need. This season offers us the opportunity to re-center our lives around Jesus, the only one who can meet our deepest needs.

Reflection: Set an alarm to spend 10 minutes with Jesus today, without saying or hearing anything. Bring your soul to rest in Him (Psalm 131). Choose a prayer word that you can pray softly when you become aware that your mind is beginning to wander.

Prayer: I ask for the grace to seek You above all else and to follow You with trust and surrender.
