2014 Lent Devotional

Beneath the Tree of Life: A Free Lent Devotional for You {2014}

February 28, 2014 By Michelle

A confession: I feel unprepared for Lent this year. It crept up on me, and as I told a friend a couple of days ago, I feel like it’s suddenly breathing down my neck. Not exactly the image one ideally pairs with the season of repentance and quiet contemplation.

Maybe you’re feeling a bit of this too?

If that’s true, I have some good news for both of us.

As has been the case for the last three years or so, I have once again collaborated with my church to create a Lenten devotional this year. And as has been the case in the past, my church has graciously enabled me to make this devotional available to you as a downloadable e-booklet.

This may be the answer we both need to help quell this feeling of unrest that seems to be stretching its sticky tentacles into the corners of our lives. I invite you to join with me this Lenten season in reading, meditating and praying our way through these 47 devotions.

The e-booklet includes:

  • A short Bible reading and an accompanying devotional for each day of the six weeks of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding on Easter Sunday.
  • A prayer or action item for the day to help you live out God’s word in your everyday.
  • Seven family-centered devotions/activities – one for each week of Lent.
  • Seven weeks of small group discussion questions.
  • Beautiful original photography by Nebraska photographer Curt Brinkmann.

If you are already a subscriber to this blog (thank you!), you’ll see a little note at the very bottom of the post you receive in your email in-box with a link to the downloadable 2014 Lenten Devotional. Just click on that link – it will bring you to the downloadable e-devotional. You can download it to your computer, or you can print it out.

If you are not already a subscriber, I invite you to become one today! When you receive your first email, you’ll find the link to the 2014 Lenten e-Devotional at the very bottom of your first email.

Feel free to share the link to this post with your friends and loved ones and anyone else who might perhaps benefit from a daily Lenten devotional this year (or on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere). The gift is ours to share, and I am just so happy to have this opportunity to do so.

And thank you, friends. It’s an absolute joy to walk this journey with you.

May God bless you and keep you. May He make His face shine down upon you in this Lenten season, and always. Amen.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a Triple Type A, “make it happen” (my dad’s favorite mantra) striver and achiever (I’m a 3 on the Enneagram, which tells you everything you need to know), but these days my striving looks more like sitting in silence on a park bench, my dog at my feet, as I slowly learn to let go of the false selves that have formed my identity for decades and lean toward uncovering who God created me to be.
