As we wind down this season of Lent I ask you to reflect. Did you “give up” or remove something from your life? When you removed it, did you use the loss to remind you of the sacrifice Jesus made for you? If not, it’s not too late. Today ask God to reveal to you a distraction or obstacle that is prohibiting you and your witness for Christ. Ask God to give you the guidance needed to have that distraction removed.

Dear God, Thank You for the sacrifice You gave for me. Open my eyes to any distractions or obstacles that need to be removed. Guide and direct my actions and attitudes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
