Forward
Pastor Rich reminds us that Lent is a forty day period of preparation and prayer, often including regular fasting, beginning with Ash Wednesday. The forty days of Lent exclude Sundays, as the Lord’s Day is considered a feast day in the Scriptures. In one way of speaking, Lent is a form of retreat for preparing us to appreciate the death and resurrection of the Lamb of God on Easter Day. In another way of speaking, it is a time for us to seek a change of heart toward one another and to develop a deeper walk with Jesus Christ.
This year the devotional will focus on a theme of answered prayer. As you read through these pages, you will learn about prayers that have been answered, ways to pray and other stories of how God has blessed the writers. We encourage everyone to make use of this devotional around a meal or some other appropriate time of the day together. Use it to promote a greater appreciation of the prayer and of what it means to live a life of prayer.
We were happy to step in for John and Teala McQuilkin this year. Their past work helped make the job easier. Particular thanks to Bob Cload for his original artwork on the front cover and some past works used inside the booklet. As always were have been blessed and amazed and the depth and quality of writing from our writers. This year’s cover reminds us that each of us has the privilege and opportunity to go to God with our praise and petitions.
John and Diana Wood
