Lent Prayer Guide
Written by Robert Greene · February 17, 2010
Today is the first day of the Lenten Season and we have prepared a guide that will help you use this time (46 days) in a more purposeful and intentional way. It’s is not meant to be a new rule that you are to follow…this guide is simply a tool that I pray will allow us to make the most of this time. In it you will find:
- What is Lent? An explanation of the Lenten Season
- Our Lenten Rhythm: our twist on an ancient practice
- Calendar of readings, prayers, and fasts
This Lenten journey may not be like one that you have done in the past…you can blame my influences on that one.
Beg…borrow…and sometimes steal…that’s how things get developed sometimes. I’m an information junkie…I have files a few inches deep spread around the office and the house on different topics. The writing of this journal was the product of a lot of research and other people’s work. So, it’s good to know who you can beg, who will let you borrow and who doesn’t mind if you outright steal from them when you are putting things together.
This would have been a very different guide if it weren’t for the work of Bob Hyatt as well as the generous guys at Sojourn Community Church in Louisville. These guys, as well as others, have produced some amazing prayer guides over the years that spurred my thoughts and direction when it came time to putting this together…and crazy props to my wife who took it and make it look like something that needs to be read and getting it online.
So, I hope that you use this guide and join us in this journey as we seek to ‘lose the things that can’t truly satisfy‘ in order to gain the only true satisfaction that can be found in Jesus.
