always trust in you and lean on your understanding, seeking your will in all things. Amen.

Lenten Goals:
During this season of Lent, I have committed to slowly use less of social media and spend more time in prayer and reflection. It has been
a challenge, but I have found that I am more focused on my relationship with God and my family. I have also been able to use the time I
would have spent scrolling through social media to read the Bible and other spiritual books. It has been a blessing to have this extra time
to deepen my faith.

For all those who are seeking your will in their lives, that they may have the courage to follow where you lead.

according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28

Dear God, we thank you for this new day and for all the blessings you have given us.
We thank you for your love and faithfulness, for your patience and mercy, and for
your constant presence in our lives. We pray that we may trust in your goodness,
even in the midst of trials and difficulties. Amen.

Lenten Goals:
Today, I want to give back to my community and to show love to those who are often forgotten. I pray that I may continue to seek out
opportunities to serve others.
