Awaken My Heart: A Lent Devotional was written because God desires to awaken your heart.
Some people believe Lent is just for Catholics, and others believe that it’s an unnecessary burden performed solely for ritual instead of spiritual reasons. After all, why give something up that you love solely because that is what people do around this time of year? Lent should really be more than that. And it is more than that. This book shows you why.
Over the course of its 47 readings, we will ask God to awaken the hearts of our culture, our nation, and ultimately ourselves to get the truth of his word and the necessity of a consistent walk with him.
Every entry requires just a few minutes to read. However, our hope is that the suggested reflections, prayer topics, and questions will spur you on to spend much longer in conversation with the Father about what you’ve experienced and learned through the day’s devotional.
Lent isn’t about ritual or tradition. It’s about drawing closer to the Lord and uniting God’s people across all walks of denominations and the life of the faith in reflecting on Christ’s message, sacrifice, and life.
