THIS IS A WEEKLY GUIDE FOR PRAYER DURING LENT.

1) Matthew 6:16-18 – Keep a Secret.

February 15-22

16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

2) 1 Peter 5:6 – Reveal Your Struggle.

February 21-28

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time

3) Isaiah 58:6-7 – Take on Something.

February 29-March 6

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

4) Mark 1:12-13 – Find Your Wilderness.

March 7-14

5) Colossians 2:16-17 – Honor Your Choice.

March 15-22

16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

6) Daniel 9:3 – Seek Inward Things.

March 23-31

3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
