We are more than conquerors through Jesus. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8: 37-39 (in part)

Into the wilderness
Jesus was led
By the Spirit of God
Who knew the way ahead

He was tempted
He was tested and tried
But in obedient trust
He overcame, he survived

He relied on the knowledge
And truth of God’s word
He kept his mind focused
On the promise and plan prepared

At the end of this journey
Of forty days and nights
Jesus was ministered to
By angels of light

Gracious God, we thank you for the love of Jesus that helps, overcomes and sustains us in all circumstances. Thank you that nothing, nothing at all, can separate us from his love.
As we journey through Lent, help us to make time to reflect on our own walk with Jesus.

In testing and difficult times, help us to keep our focus on Jesus. Remind us of your promises in the Bible and strengthen us with your love. Help us to show the same love, kindness, generosity and compassion to each other as Jesus shows to us; for your love is kind, gracious, forgiving and compassionate. (*1). In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
